Pitcher/Catcher Synergy

I wouldnt be surprised if this has veen discussed before, but I cant think a more meaningful and realistic addition to the game.

The more a pitcher and catcher play together, the higher their synergy. It could be a bar that gets filled up.

Each catcher could have ratings that dictate how well they call a game, how they call/work with a new pitcher or how fast they integrate. The same could be with pitchers. Some pitchers can pitch the same regardless of the catcher snd vice versa.

Under the player info, you could see list of the catchers/pitchers with the highest affinity/synergy.

This would add a whole new level to realism, roster construction and strategy.

Is this something that can be realistically added?
