Clem it is for the antagonist who have nothing of value to post. They can google pitching management. The catcher signals the next pitch and he needs to control the percent strikes higher and percent balls lower per 110 pitches. If the pitchers slider is not working well, make another choice. Most HS relievers are a drop off in talent to the starter. The Coach has to do a good job managing his relievers. Sometimes the starter is not doing well after 80 pitches but it may be best to leave him in versus bringing in a less talented reliever. Sinton benefited for years of having the best coach in the country. I went to his retirement ceremony. We seem to have a number of posters who just bray rather than offering something of substance. The catcher calls the next pitch and he needs to control the percent strikes higher and the percent of balls lower!!!! What does that mean? How does the catcher control the percent of strikes? I really want to know. Shhhh. Ancient Chinese secret.

He can even control the velocity.

That would be somewhat true of veteran catchers in MLB but not in HS where almost certainly the pitches are signaled in from the dugout.

Watching the College World Series even the best teams pitches are called from the dugout.

Some coaches let the catcher get use to calling a game and lets them call the selection and some coaches control everything might depend on the type of experience team he has that season.

Sintonfan is closer to the correct answer. A lot depends on the catcher being a senior and several years of experience. The pitching coach has a clip board and about 10 seconds to check the batter versus scouting and get the signal to the catcher who signals the pitcher. Every team is different and every pitching coach is different. We recently saw a game where the starter ran out of his 110 pitches and it was a disaster. My point fewer balls and foul tips could have changed the result of the game. Bottom line better pitching management.

Got it. Tell your high school pitcher to stop throwing balls and don't allow foul tips. Thanks😳

SintonFan is correct. It depends on the experience of the catcher. I started at catcher for 3 years at G-P. My sophomore year, Coach Robison pretty much called every pitch. Halfway through my junior year, he turned the pitch-calling duties over to me for the rest of my junior and senior years. A lot depends on the relationship between the pitchers and the catcher. The pitcher(s) have to have faith in the catcher and be on the same page as the catcher. I called every pitch for 5 years in college ball. My college coaches trusted my judgment and relationship with the pitchers I caught. I’ve been watching a lot of college baseball games lately and it seems as if the pitching coach is signaling in what pitch for the catcher to call. Ultimately, though, from college to the big leagues, the pitcher is the one who decides which pitch he wants to throw. Not so much in high school.

Alot of people dont know that he recieved calls from 6 different MLB teams, Walker Has a very good arm. GP81 is a legend
