FASTPITCH CATCHER
Pulled from an article titled "The Softball Pitcher Catcher Relationship"
by Sara Moulton at FPN (Fastpitch News).
"The role of a catcher is often times a quiet one. They crouch behind home plate in full body armor, their backs to the spectators watching, and give the pitcher as well as the infield players the signs. They spend more time on the field interacting with the opposing team’s batters and the umpire than their own team on the defensive side. They learn the strike zone and relay it to their team’s offense. They frame the pitches coming in because at one point in their life, they were told their job was to 'make their pitcher and the pitches she delivers look good.'"
