I'd actually disagree. I wouldn't want a catcher to have mecanum wheels, since they are so easily pushed.
Looking at the scoring for this year, a catch is the same as a high goal score (disregarding assist points, since you can score low and get the same assist score), so if teams know you can catch, they will try to defend it.
Hitting a moving target is added complexity you don't need. I'd pick a catcher that has no wheels at all before I'd pick one with mecanums.
