I think there was a catcher for the Mets that had a hard time throwing back to the mound as well.

It was Mackey Sasser. (I looked it up.) He did fine in every other facet of the game, including throws to second on attempted steals. He just could not throw back to the pitcher without double clutching. Sometimes base-runners would try to take advantage of his issue by jogging to first on a walk and then attempting to continue to second at a sprint when he had issues getting it back to the pitcher; it did not usually work. I remember hearing a report that coaches had tried telling him to, instead, imagine himself throwing down to second when returning the ball to the pitcher, but they stopped that experiment quickly when he almost took the head off a pitcher.
