A hind catcher is the same thing as a catcher in baseball. It is the person who plays behind the batter and catches the ball when it is missed or not struck at. I know the term was used regularly in the south in the fifties and earlier. I'm not sure if it is still in use there, but I think most places have dropped the "hind" and now simply use the term "catcher." I am not sure of the origin of this term other than the fact that the catcher played behind or "hind" the home plate. I have seen one suggestion that the word "behind" was used to describe the position much in the same way you would say "in the field" to describe outfielders.

The correct spelling is catcher's mitt (the glove used by a baseball catcher).
It is a diamond shaped object laid in the ground made of a rubbery plastic. You step on it to score a run in baseball, it is also where you go up to bat, and the catcher crouches behind it.
