Some catchers are allowed more leeway to call pitches by their managers than others. But usually pitches are called by the manager or pitching coach and relayed to the pitcher by the catcher.
Catchers call pitches during a baseball game to strategize and coordinate with the pitcher on what type of pitch to throw based on the situation, the batter, and the game plan. This helps keep the opposing team off balance and increases the chances of getting outs.

Catchers call pitches during a baseball game by using a series of hand signals to communicate with the pitcher. They typically use a combination of finger signals and signs to indicate the type of pitch to be thrown. The catcher and pitcher work together to decide on the pitch selection based on the game situation and the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing batters.
MLB pitchers receive signs from their catchers through a series of hand signals or gestures. The catcher uses a combination of signs to indicate the type of pitch to be thrown.
