For HS, I think the scoring of PB and WP are the best cooked book indicators for pitchers and catchers.
DD is a catcher turned pitcher. When she was a catcher she was a deeply, devout follower of the Jack The Ripper school of catching (she never blocked, just stabbed everything). So, in my attempt to highlight the need to block, I scored every ball that got passed her as a PB.
Currently, as a pitcher, she pitches a lot of drop balls. In an attempt to help prepare her for college I've changed scoring to "if it hits the dirt, it's a WP". Yep, I'm that dad and no I'm not the official scorekeeper.
To make it even more fun, her HS catcher is also a devout member of the aforementioned JTR school of catching. Ahhh, Karma
