About This Quiz

The pitcher and catcher are two of the most important players on the field. If a starting pitcher or closer is having an off day, it usually doesn't matter how hot the offense is. The catcher's role is no less significant. The catcher controls the game in the same way a general controls an army. Not only do they tell the pitcher what to pitch, but they're also responsible for keeping the runners in check and calming the pitcher down when they get too excited. 

A good pitcher and catcher go together like peanut butter and jelly (or like Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada). If a pitcher can't trust their catcher, then it's the baseball equivalent of going on a blind date with somebody who is your exact opposite. Do you think think you'd make a better catcher or pitcher? To be a catcher, you need to be tough as nails and have good management and people skills. To be an All-Star pitcher, you need to be able to keep a level head and be able to refocus after giving up a big hit.
