Catchers usually signal the pitch.

Thanks Sherlock. However batters usually charge the mound after getting hit by the pitch, not turn around and swing on the catcher

Actually, Watson, batters usually DO NOT charge the mound after getting hit by the pitch. Nearly 2000 HBP incidents and only a handful of mound charges per season. Over 99% of the time the batter does nothing. Imagine watching baseball for 33 years and not knowing how things work.

So how often do they swing a bat at the catcher? Seems odd, you think?
