In my estimation, the catcher is actually the most important person of the nine players because the catcher has to communicate with the pitcher and actually with the other players as well. He communicates with the pitcher who tries to get the opposing players out and he also communicates with the outfielders and the infielders to try to get the players out, to get the ball, get the three outs so that his team can go to that bat. So to me, the catcher, because he tried to keep the pitcher calm and try to keep the flow of the game to a point where his team can play good defense. So to me, the catcher, because he has to lead and keep the pitcher calm, relay the signals so he serves as a coach and a manager on the field. So to me, the catcher is the most important player of the nine players on the baseball field.
