I did this with my catchers (Berra and Piazza) with a sample of 20-25 games each using the same pitchers. It's a small sample size but it was interesting anyway. In every case, the pitchers had more walks per 9 IP with Piazza, and it was significant in most cases. The total of all pitchers was 1.7 BB/9 with Berra catching and 3.2 BB/9 with Piazza.
Piazza is now at DH and Jason Kendall is my new backup catcher.
