One important point that you have failed to address is that coaches can and do track every pitch and every batter and know exactly what they did during their last at bat. This information is very valuable to pitch calling that most catchers cannot pick up on. Probably the best approach would be a hybrid approach where the catcher calls the game but coaches can relay information as needed to the catchers when appropriate and also have the pitcher have the discretion to call off pitches as she feels necessary. In summary, a collaboration of the pitcher, catcher, and coaches. FYI we started tracking every pitch and at bat result as early as 10u all stars.
