Should a High school player play both Pitcher and Catcher?
From a health perspective for pitching, I would prefer that she play any non-pitcher position other than catcher. She's also the team's best MI. While it makes the most sense for her to play MI when she's not pitching, I'm not opposed to her playing OF or 3B rather than catcher. She's a...- bleumax

Should a High school player play both Pitcher and Catcher?
Yes, definitely my concern. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't being too sensitive. There's another catcher on the team.

Should a High school player play both Pitcher and Catcher?
My DD is the #1 pitcher on her HS JV team and as far as I can tell, appears to be the #1 catcher when she isn’t pitching.
