Please allow Lefty Catchers?
-
In MLB The Show, I can build a ballpark in outer space. I can create my own logos, my own teams, my own leagues, and my own players. I can literally create a 6'11", switch-hitting, green eyed, silver haired, 18 year-old, with an Abe Lincoln beard, who was born At Sea and I can give him 99 ratings in all categories. And if I want him to throw with his left hand, I can assign him to any position, including 2B, 3B, & SS! Any position, that is...except Catcher.
I fell in love with baseball because I threw left handed like my dad and got to use his hand-me-down glove when we played catch. I fell in love with baseball because my little league coaches thought nothing of having a L/L kid play Catcher (even though he admittedly couldn't hit!). I know that I and many other left-handed players would love to create a left-handed Catcher in this game. I don't buy the game every year. SDS: please give me a reason to buy your game every year. Please allow me to create versions of myself and my dad and see them play in the big leagues. Please make your game a little more inclusive by allowing something that does not violate any MLB rule or code or collective bargaining agreement.
Please allow the creation of left hand throwing Catchers in MLB The Show.

I'm a left handed catcher, and we need this. Its wrong.

I don’t remember a left handed catcher in the big leagues……actually ever. That’d be a good one for one of the googlers to check.
Heck IRL it could be due to some secret conspiracy between the manufactures of catchers mitts lol they don’t wanna have to eat the cost of all the ones they wouldn’t sell.
Here’s a trivia question for us. Who was the last left handed catcher to sit a full season behind the dish in the majors?
I truly cannot think of one

I have a lefty catcher's mitt. I used it when my boys played HS ball because my thumb joint would always swell when I used a regular mitt to play catch with them.

MLB The Show 2007 or MLB 2k 5 on PS2(forget which) if you had a left handed catcher the hand would detach from the arm.
Forgive me I'm old and I ramble, back to your regularly scheduled thread. -
being a left handed catcher is hard so respect to those guys. you have to make your launch point a bit to the right so the ss or 2B isn't having to reach back and then try to tag the guy.
-
as a lefty, there is absalutly no area for mistake. You see, I just made one in spelling, but I'm referring to baseball.
One small mess up is big.
