Text | Pitching by signal has come to be a brand opf the art, and unless the catcher is in perfect rapport with the pitcher in this respect the full advantage of the latter’s strategic play cannot be obtained. It is almost impossible for a catcher to back up his pitcher with the best effect unless he is thoroughly posted in the signaling, so as to know what kind of ball to be prepared for, whether an in-curve, an out-curve, a swift ball or one dropped short, or for a ball to throw to bases, or one to be quickly returned. In fact, the catcher should be perfectly familiar with all the points of play of the pitcher, or it is next to impossible for the latter to deliver the ball with his best effect. |
