re: Whoever started coaching catchers on 1 knee

I agree it shouldn’t be done if runners are on base.

My son is a catcher here in Texas for his high school and travel team. For him it achieves three things: gets target lower in zone, gives the umpire a bigger window and gives the catcher a rest.

Have to realize the catchers will catch 3-5 games a week in high school (especially early in season when playing tourneys). Only 3 per week in district; however, these are usually high stress/intensity games. Furthermore, many high school kids have weight training before school and football workouts during football/lunch. So fatigue is a real issue.
