Yes they do have to teach catchers how to catch and I had a great high school coach. But we only had one guy that could touch 90. In college everyone threw 90ish+. Breaking ball speed was also probably 15 mile per hour faster with much higher spin rate and movement. Broke my thumb multiple times. Hands and body stayed beat up because most college pitchers aren’t exactly accurate. Think hitters need hitting coaches? Pitchers need pitching coaches. Don’t be goofy because you had a bad take. Every team has a WR coach and it’s not just a position where you here guys run over here like this and then catch the ball. Half the guys in their 20s on the board and in decent shape probably couldn’t get off a jam by an SEC DB

I appreciate this response. And i truly think it sort of makes my point. Catching a football is way easier than catching a breaking ball. I think we can agree on that. I just think that a scholarship player at Auburn should be able to pretty effortlessly catch a decent spiral or even a duck without coaching on that particular point.
