Text | The true catcher should almost direct the infield work, coach the pitcher, and especially watch the bases and by signs instruct his pitcher when to throw and his basemen when to dodge the man on the base, so as to receive his swift, sharp throw, to catch the player away from his base. In these days it has become almost a fashion for old catchers to give the pitcher signs to pitch. Such is not the catcher's office. A pitcher, to be effective, should deliver his ball as he chooses himself, sizing up his batsman and signing to his catcher what he pitchers. |
