The Japanese... The strangest people on the planet. What price a string connected to the ball in the catchers glove?

I don't think so, because the ball hits the ground and bounces into the catchers glove on the second weird pitch. I bet they are using some sort of wiffle-like ball. Still cool to see a ball move like that.

Yeah, but notice the catcher always gets a glove to it? That suggests the ball is going to hit his glove. It can still bounce, or the catcher can drop it, but it always hits his glove.

No, the catcher misses one. I think the Wiffle ball argument is probably right.

Yeah, but it went near him. It could well have been a wiffle ball, but the string would need to be long to get back to the pitcher. So missing one is possible. The catcher always seems to know what the pitch is going to do though, whereas no-one else does.
