If you were tasked to change the way your MLB sends catcher/pitcher signals

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

I gotcha. However, I think part of the value of a good catcher is his ability...

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

The catcher could give a simple 'yes' or 'no' sign in response to the pitcher's

Electronic signal from dugout to both pitcher and catcher. Similar to a QB.

I think the signs being stolen are from dugout to Catcher? right?

11/12/19 3:01pm

no, catcher to pitcher.

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

11/12/19 3:44pm

absolutely. and it's 100% legal.

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

I don't think you could eradicate it completely
