For the uninitiated: catchers often wear a wristband with a transparent cardholder and a flap. In the holder they’ll put a card with sign sequences, as well as the game plan — scouting reports telling what to throw to what hitter. A cheat sheet, basically. Most players have these for defensive positioning but the catcher’s is a whole other level of importance. It’s top level intelligence.
