24-yo ML C with 18 range. My fielding coach is better than last season. But the C's range factor has dropped dramatically.

a) What does this mean, and should I be concerned? His CERA is much higher than last season, too, which I'm assuming is related.

It means your pitchers are striking out less batters.

Yup, RANGE is just (putouts + assists) / (putouts + assists + errors)

Catchers primarily get putouts from strikeouts, so if your pitching gets markedly worse, your catchers' RF will go down (and simultaneously, his CERA will go up)

Thanks. It's true. 6.31 K/9 now, vs. 6.64 K/9 in previous season.
