How old are kids before they learn how to catch?

Google gives me a bunch of different answers, I know kids learn to throw around 15-18 months.
I’m honestly just curious, how old are most kids when they learn to catch a ball that is big enough and light enough for them to catch with two hands.

Brexton learned when he was 3... we’ve signed him up on a travel team and they’re going to the 6U World Series in PCB in two weeks.

Breeland signed a minor league contract the day after he was conceived.

Like catching a ball throw in a Tee ball game?
Most average ones show signs of being close to catching a ball about at 5.5 - 6 years old.
Ive done things like making them catch a tennis ball with their hands over and over to try an accelerate the process. I honestly cant see that it helped to where they went from not being able to catch any and could not catch plenty with the 20-25 kids I tried it with.

Traxton is scheduled to have Tommy John surgery later this month. He'll be 3 in November.

I just mean like catching an inflatable ball that’s tossed to them underhand from a few feet away

they should be throwing 100 curveballs a day when they are 6 to give them any hope of being a pro

Why are you waiting so long? He'll never sign a contract now.

Catching a baseball in a glove without using the basket catch, typically is around 6-7. Though I've seen some as young as 3 do it.

I got my 2 year old doing this from about 10' away. You have to hit him in the hands though, he can't track it down to save his life.
