The batter is like 3 feet away from the catcher. He'd hear every bit of that.

well the catcher would be the one with the earpiece and I think they wouldn't turn it up loud enough so the batter could

calling a game would be important. You'd put a mic in the pitchers glove and he'd say something to the catcher

Can't a runner on second base steal those signs?

Some pitchers (kenley Jansen) will intentionally balk a runner from 2nd to 3rd.

I wouldn't change the way pitches are called - rather I'd spend my time tracking
