Topic: Catcher Signals

The mechanics of baseball catcher signals are examined, specifically how catchers communicate pitch types to pitchers while attempting to hide them from the opposing team. Recent sign-stealing scandals are referenced, including the use of binoculars from scoreboards and banging on trash cans to alert batters. The complexity of signal coding, such as using multiple thigh taps to designate which signal is live, is highlighted as a necessary countermeasure against unsportsmanlike behavior.
