My DD is a Freshman in college and a catcher. I can’t remember a TB or HS game where she was involved in a pitch out.

We have a call for a pitch that's really outside. Usually used with 2 strikes but sometimes if the count is right and we "know" the runner is going we call it.

I think pitch outs are great. If you have a batter who rakes 3+ pitches down 3B line I'm going to call a ball one or two balls off the plate to get her to chase especially if she is making too much contact on the change up. Even if it's not called often its not a bad idea to have it in the arsenal.

RAD is asking about "Pitch Outs" anticipating a base runner stealing. Not pitching outside to get a batter to chase. Look at 1:14 in the video.
