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

microphone and ear piece would be one simple way.

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

Yeah. That is the original assumption, but I’m saying that you could communicate both ways.

This flips the script entirely on how games are currently called. I don't ...

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
