Are there any stats showing how good a catcher is at handling the pitching staff?
The catcher gives a sign. Then the pitcher goes with it or shakes it off looking for a different sign. Assume the best catchers in this department know the opposing hitters - their strengths, weaknesses, type of pitches they are good/bad at, location of pitches they are good/bad at. Also, good catchers may know how to "set-up" hitters - preferred first pitches, wasting a pitch, how deep in count to go, etc. As an Angels fan, frustrated with their overall pitching. Perhaps the catcher, Stassi (and others over the years), could be better in this dept.? Or does the catcher really have minimal impact. I have no stats to back it up, but my gut feeling is Yogi Berra was very good at this, but how would we know? |
