Hi, new to the game but really enjoying it. A couple of questions about catchers:

1) Which (if any) of the catcher defensive ratings impact their ability to prevent passed balls and/or wild pitches? Catcher ability? Infield range? Infield error?

2) What do the defensive efficiency metrics ZR and EFF measure for catchers? I found a very helpful thread (link below) that explains the other positions but it doesn't cover catchers, and the number of chances measured is way too high for it to be just the chances where the catcher fields a ball in play.

Thanks.
