Purely by observation, but I'd bet most get less than 10%. On the other hand, the REALLY good ones at that age can get more than half pretty easily.12u, A&B level teams. What percentage of runners stealing do your catchers throw out?
50-80%! RAD, we all know you are a great catcher coa ch, and your students probably got cannons, but do you actually go to games? Id say 10-15% of the average 12u game get caught stealing. And that's from umpiring quite a few of them.That includes the defense
1. Being there.
2. Catchng the ball.
3. Applying the tag.
Simply to be clear not just talking about the throw being there.
50% to 80% as a season stat.
Additionally
There are those games when no runner trys to steal
First year 12u bigger learning curve for all.
Would say good coaching at practices working often on real situations with pitchers and runners is super helpful.
Even essential!

These is one of those things Game Changer needs to change for a "softball mode". You can look this up for pitchers but not catchers.
SB% varies from 90% to 78% on our pitchers. I think the speed of the pitcher or the pitches they throw has some to do with stolen base percentage.
