So what is the most important part job of the catcher? In my opinion, the name of the position says it all. CATCHER. Catching the ball from the pitcher is the most important job of the catcher. I can still hear my high school coaches booming voice scream “catchers catch the ball.” Catchers, as they progress should not drop balls or miss catchable pitches consistently. It may happen from time to time but…
