Catcher
is always a fascinating position in Showdown. Catcher, more than any other
defensive position, requires attention to detail to the defensive score. The
reason is that catcher often defends his position alone. The most common use of
catching defense is the steal. This means how fast the set, and how fast the
best players in the set are is very important. 2013 is the slowest set we have
had in a while. 2011 was an insanely fast set. So I was intrigued what players
thought was an acceptable catching arm.
Catching
arms range from 2 to 9 in the 2013 set. That was the range for the pole. I was
shocked that of 13 votes only 1 was for the max score of 9. The most common
answer was C+5 with four votes. C+4 and C+8 both had three. This showed me that
many players are ok with finding a hitter at catcher. There are some good
options that have not been revealed because they are utility. The other thing
that this showed is that you can get catchers very late in drafts.
