Honestly I think the right fix is just tweaking it a bit from where it is now. Like I said, dampen the suppression effect of Catcher Arm a bit, and increase CS% for great arms.

Assume there's a 3rd rating like you suggest focused on SB suppression -- Intimidation for lack of a better word. The optimal Catcher would have extremely low Intimidation and extremely high Catcher Arm. It just wouldn't make a lot of sense.

If there's anything that deserves a 3rd rating for Catchers it's Pitch Framing. Right now it's tied into Catcher Ability which I'm sure affects passed balls and minor things that don't come up much like fielding foul ball popups. Those are quite different than framing. But honestly I don't mind how it is with just Ability/Arm. It just seems Arm needs some adjustment.
