Imagine playing Rebound Rumble with the goals moving. It's way harder. A catcher should be stationary, make it easy for your thrower to hit you. There should be no trouble making a very consistent ball-launcher.

Sure, you may be able to adjust to catch a ball on your practice field, but when you get pushed across the field for 2:20 you won't be a very effective catcher.
