Baseball players? Do a pitcher and catcher have to be friends to play well?

[ChiTown33]

Lol no. The catcher runs the show typically. The pitcher just needs to trust the catcher knows best. And the catcher needs to understand the pitchers abilities. Basically mutual respect is all that's required.

[Travis_Skyles]

Freinds? No, but the pitcher has to trust the catcher.

They don't have to be friends but they have to be team mates that's are really working together. Being friends may be a benefit but not necessary.

[PrincessGrail]

They need to be in sync. Being friends would help.

[madhatters4]

definitely not

[The_Dean]

You should definitely have a good pitcher/catcher bond. The more you know the other person, the more you know their weaknesses. Often the greatest strength is to know the weaknesses of your ally. After knowing these weaknesses, compensate for them and build on their strengths.

I’m not sure if they have to be best friends but they have to know each other well and trust each other to perform at their best.

Go Milwaukee, that is my team. All I know is when the Cardinals traded Steve Carlton , they had to also trade Tim McCarver a catcher. McCarver was Carlton's personal catcher.

They don't need to necessarily be friends, but they definitely need to be friendly with each other.

[thechesseman]

Yes but they can't be enemies and must both put the team before themselves.

[RyanAmaral]

I'm sure the chemistry would be improve the performance.

[CoffeeWC]

It's possible but it's highly recommended they have good synergy

[TripleAce]

id say at least they should be dating... otherwise do you even make it that far...

[SunnyCaliGirl]

I don't know much about baseball
