My daughter is 10 and the starting pitcher on our travel team. I also manage the team. Only time I say it was the catchers fault is if it hits her glove and falls out.
I do disagree with the pitcher being the most important spot. To me there isn't one spot more important then the other. I have seen teams with great pitchers and catchers that were horrible every where else. Once the batters caught up to the pitch and started hitting, it was all over.
Show me a team without a good pitcher, and I'll show you a team that losses a lot. Fielding? Hitting? None of that matters if your pitcher stinks. On the other hand, show me a team with a lights out pitcher, and that team will win many games 1-0 or 2-1. Pitcher is absolutely the most important person on the team.
