My daughter (10 now) had always played first base since she was 4 in rec. She played one fall ball season at 10U rec and pitched. She made her select team the following spring. The coach there had her pegged for third because of her strong arm. My wife called me one day from practice and said "you will never believe this but coach is having her catch" She loved it and has been the bracket catcher ever since. She still pitches some, but only in pool games. What she loves about it is that she is involved in every play of the game on defense. Within a month or so she was calling in third basemen because she could tell when they were bunting by the way the held the bat. Nothing makes her madder than to have someone steal on her. The point of all of this story is,,,your good catchers are your go getters on the team. The ones that don't mind getting hot, dirty, and taking some bumps and bruises. They want action all of the time and they hate to get beat. I am sure "catching Coach" has seen this type of mentality with the girls he works with.
