Message: [QUOTE="OrangeMuskyFish, post: 39173, member: 261"] A lot of college coaches relay every pitch call to the catcher. As well as dictate most of, if not all, the offensive strategy. I believe this is even happening at the powerhouses, especially now that the new bat requirements mean a drastic shift back to small ball. At this level, I would say the impact is as high as any sport. At the pro-level, where MLB players have the green light to govern themselves much more often, it surely isn't as high as in the NFL, but I think it ranks higher than basketball, and I would guess hockey, but I am not a fan so don't quote me. Coaches in basketball spend more time jawing with officials than their players. [/QUOTE]
