I’m not so sure.
The QB/WR relationship only results in maybe 10-15 plays in a game at its biggest. And sometimes less than 5 plays.
Pitchers throw to catchers upwards of 100 times very frequently.
The real difference is in the ensuing action. A QB/WR relationship is viewed as successful with every completion, as these ultimately drive the ball down enter field. But the pitcher-catcher relationship actually works best when the ball isn’t put in play, or is put in play weakly. The lack of ensuing action often makes the relationship look rather bland and uneventful and therefore inconsequential. But, unlike wide receivers, catchers are far more involved in the action, frequently calling pitch sequences for both type of pitch and location. Wide receivers have no such equivalent input…
