It isn't more difficult to catch with mitt


Yes it is.It may have been a better fit for you but for fielding a one or two hopper and then using a swipe tag
which can only be done with one hand BTW,it is far from efficient.

Once again,I see MLB catchers constantly drop/miss this play.Wonder why?

As you should.

No it isn't more difficult when you play catcher and that's what you're used to day in and day out. And you could and should swipe with two hands (one over the ball) when given that opportunity. Obviously on a bang-bang play this isn't applicable.

To think that you would have time to allow the first baseman to run to you, throw down your glove, and replace it with theirs, while simultaneously directing your infielders for a relay and watching the ball, is frickin ridiculous. Judging by your upvote/downvote ratio, and the other comments in this thread, no one agrees with you.
