Catcher effectiveness stats for youth ball

I'd like to request some additional fielding stats specific to the catcher position. In youth ball with more WPs and PBs, keeping the ball off the backstop can make a significant difference in the game. Here are a few suggestions:
- Pitches thrown while at the 2 position & Passed Balls per pitch %
- Batters faced at 2 & Passed Balls per batter faced %

And then an interesting idea from this thread, is a record of "pitches blocked" with runners on, to hold the runners. Basically when the catcher holds the runners on a pitch in the dirt, and saves the pitcher from a Wild Pitch.

Thanks!

As noted in your other post about this, if you enable the AP2 stat, it shows the number of innings a player appeared at catcher (position 2).
