I know I have seem some threads on this in the past, but wanted to maybe put a little different spin on this. Should high school/16U/18U catchers be calling pitches? They obviously have the best seat in the house to see what the pitcher has working, what the ump is calling, and where a batter might be susceptible ... the question is are most of them students of the game enough to do this as effectively as a coach who is focusing on this? I know some coaches let them and some don't ... I know its done more in baseball and not as much in even college fastpitch ... but the question is what do you think is more effective at this age level ... the coaches or the catchers calling the pitches?
