catcher

n. player who sits behind home plate to catch pitches thrown (Baseball)

Catcher is also a general term for a fielder who catches the ball in cricket. Catcher is a position played in baseball. The catcher crouches behind home plate and receives the ball from the pitcher. In the numbering system used to record defensive plays, the catcher is assigned the number 2 (see Baseball scorekeeping). The role of the catcher is similar to that of the wicket-keeper in cricket.
