The field general. Call pitches, control the running game, and manage the defense.
Catchers are the field general — the only position that sees the entire field facing outward. They call pitches, control the running game, manage the pitcher's confidence, and direct the defense.
Content unlocks as you advance.
“Runner on first attempts to steal second. Your pitcher is in the windup. What is your pre-pitch plan?”
“Tied game, bottom of the seventh, runner on third with one out. How do you sequence the next three pitches?”
“Your pitcher is losing confidence after two straight walks. What do you say on the mound visit?”
Catchers require the highest overall IQ across all five dimensions. Communication and game management are primary. They must process pitcher tendencies, batter scouting data, runner speed, and defensive positioning simultaneously.
