Booth Talk at the Connecticut Defenders…..

I’ve seen you play this year at Dodd Stadium and you certainly deserved to be a 2007 Eastern League All Star. At the minor league level, how much does a catcher’s calling of the game factor into what the pitcher actually throws… and what is it like dealing with two of the most talented and fastest rising broadcasters in the business in Rory Duyon and Bobby Morales?
From the Baseball Pro:
Martin,
Thanks for the compliment. When it comes to calling the game the catcher will do 99 percent of it. The pitchers do have the ability to shake off after the catcher has put his sign down. The amount this happens depends on the pitcher and the catcher and how much they have worked together. As for the broadcaster question, I certainly think they are both tremendous broadcasting prospects. I would like to add though that having watched them both actually play on the field, Rory Duyon is a much better athlete. In fact, Bobby Morales’ glove had holes in it and it looked like his dog chewed on it. That can not be tolerated!
Your Baseball Pro, Steve Holm
