DD pitches and is fast and a good base runner. She absolutely loves running bases. The coaches who know her well almost never put in a courtesy runner for her. I've always assumed for pitchers it's mostly to keep them from getting tired. At our age level anyway I don't ever see pitchers leave the base to go warm up, usually they just do the warm ups in the circle at the beginning of the inning. For catchers that plus getting into all that gear was my assumption.
