How do you RTTS as a catcher?

I cannot seem to start a new RTTS as a catcher. It only starts as a two-way from which I can select infield or outfield but no catcher?

Anybody figured out how?

Thanks in advance.

Trying to figure out the same... why can't I just choose my position like in many other itterations of the game?

I equipped my player with a chest protector and when they asked me about what position I wanted to play catcher came up with infield and outfield choices.

Thank you! Guess I’ll need to buy a chest protector

Nope, didn’t work... any other ideas? I also equipped leg guards. Did you equip all three catcher items?

Quick question, is your Ballplayer left or right handed?

I am right handed... I equipped a chest protector and leg guards... didn't have a catcher's mask. When they asked me about position I had infield, outfield, and catcher listed...

I got Catcher as a secondary by choosing Catcher when asked. Still 1b primary and no idea how to get Catcher primary. ‍️

SDS, any answer for this?

Aha! Of course! I probably set me up a lefty. Will check. Thanks mate

It was because my ballplayer was a lefty. Change him to a righty and you can choose catcher.

I’m now testing what happens when you back out, change throw hand to lefty and go back into catcher RTTS.

Edit: it forces you to be a righty catcher, even though it says you throw L. When your pitching comes up as a two way, you’re throwing L. Probably the best way to do it.

Slightly disappointed that despite not having a mask in my loadout my catcher had one on field. I really wanted to see how that played out without one

Just pretend you borrowed the Equipment Mgrs. 15 YO mask that was handed down, never washed and has all the 15 year dings, scratches and smells ....... lol
