The guys who catch the ball from those pitchers almost are anonymous. Some of that has to do with the nature of their position, but some of it is their fault.

Those who casually watch the North Carolina baseball team could go a whole game without realizing that the man behind the plate one day isn't the same player who was there the day before.
