Just about all players and managers realize that little time is spent during practice by their catchers on the catching skills. Blocking, exchange drills, pickoff throws and proper handling of wild pitches and passed balls throwing to the pitcher covering home plate.

The catcher should be working on these skills instead of taking infield practice.

It may take many good plays by the catcher to erase the single E 2 error that could have been prevented by practicing catchers skills.
