You would think one knee already on the ground would limit passed balls
Used to play catcher so trying to think of the benefits.
Say your right knee is down, it would make moving and blocking to your left easier but moving to your right much worse. You want your legs to be spread fairly wide to cover/block a wider area and having a right knee down and moving to the right would make it harder to get that leg out imo.
I can't imagine catching with one knee down and the pads your able to use on your calves make it pretty easy on your knees so I don't really see one knee down being much less wear on the body.

same here, former catcher, that would get you benched back in the day, there must be some private guru coach out there with travel ball cred that’s pushing this trend
