Ok, my apologies. Any ball in the dirt is a WP. (And my daughter is a catcher.)

What if it's a strike and the ball hits the dirt? Is that a wild pitch?
Many drop balls and change ups will hit the dirt due to the nature of the pitch. The catcher should know they will need to potentially block those balls - just like it is understood that if it is a dropped 3rd strike the catcher can't get to it that is the breaks. That pitch was called and everyone knows the risks of an offspeed or dropping pitch.
I take my turn with game changer and I am pretty much 50/50 on scoring those.
