Hannah asked: What is the player called who teams up with the pitcher on every team? For my baseball crossword puzzle homework in PE.


Rick answered: Hannah, thank you for your question.

Sorry I am so long answering, I have been out of town. Probably too late to be of help; but here it is.

That player is called the catcher. In the picture above, the catcher is the one directly behind home plate, who is in front of the umpire.

Yours in baseball,

Rick
