How much does catcher pop time really help?

[ref479ode_PSN]

I've been using posada as my wild card since S2. I noticed adley is like 650k or so now?

Anecdotally, how much does catcher pop time really help? I play some opponents where I can slide step or pitch out and the runner has no lead off first and still easily makes it to 2nd. Unless there is some secret to basestealing aside from just hitting L2 on playstation does catcher pop time make a difference with 90+ speed/basestealing?

I have kenley but don't think I've ever used him online

@ref479ode_PSN Not sure if anyone can quantify it. I don’t think it’s worth it if you don’t hit as well with the guy with pop time.

I've always liked adley cards in the past but I have like a million stubs and don't wanna spend 70% of them on adley...altho I've had a million stubs for like 3 months now and hardly used them

been saving my inventory for exchanges in the next TA, I prob have a fortune in inventory

I use JT a lot and he has thrown out just about every base runner( vs CPU, but then the cpu cheats on steals) so it does matter, however in a CPU game I stole 7 vs the A's,Langeliers has pop time but the pitchers are slow to the plate, (think he nabbed me once, but the 7 were no doubt steals cause the pitchers were so slow to the plate)
If the pitchers are medium to quick to the plate it is very difficult to steal on a pop time catcher

I have Gary Sanchez who has pop time and I think it matters at least from what I can tell he throws more players out than Posada and Mauer. Also Sanchez destroys the ball when hitting

@ref479ode_PSN If you hit well with Adley, it’s probably worth it. It’s possible he’s attainable or at least cheaper in season 4 when we start getting rewind content. You could always get him and sell before season 4 starts.
