I am going to have to call bull chit on this one. Not everything is going to be equal. A coach evaluating two comparable players and is trying to decided who they are going to offer a scholarship to is not going to come down to who can call a game or not. If they are both that good then it is going to come down to other thing. What are her grades? What is her attitude? Is she coachable or not? Is she a team player or a prima donna? What is the potential etc.
Now I do agree, I think it is good that a catcher learn to call a game. I think it helps make them a better player and gives them a better understanding of the game.
The grades, attitude, and coachability were covered in the "every other way" portion of my statement. True, chances are that everything is not going to be equal. I was just trying to stress the importance of knowing how to call a game.
