No, in baseball the pitcher does not follow the instructions of the catcher.
The pitcher is credited with a strikeout. The catcher is credited with the putout, unless the batter-runner has to be retired at first base with a throw from the catcher. In that case, the catcher would get an assist and the base man covering first would get the putout.Source(s):Senior League Baseball World Series information director; Official Baseball Rules: 10.09(b)(1), 10.10(b)(1), 10.15(a)
The catcher caught the baseball.
Only if you are a catcher. Fielders wouldn't want one because it would interfere with their fielding of the ball.
