If you are unable to drop to your knees and block wild pitches, then you don't need to be playing catcher. There's no nice way to say that. Everyone thinks about throwdowns when evaluating catchers; but I guarantee you, passed balls have cost more runs than a stolen base.
100% true. We found out this past HS season (what little bit we played), that a catcher with good receiving and blocking skills, but can't throw, is WAY more effective than a catcher with a strong arm, but gives up multiple passed balls per inning. The difference was vivid.
