79% isn't a problem. if he's 'better' than the other guy by a noticeable amount, i'd still start that type of catcher. (think similar to an RP in this regard about fatigue threshold where you think twice about using him that day)

first question would be, did he recover to 100% on that day off? that could influence things on the next cycle before a day off. to that end, sometimes in a 20game-ish streatch it's better not to run them into exhaustion or even proactively rest them 1 day earlier than normal (even if you don't play them to exhaustion, if you notice they aren't recovering fully).

learn the % at which they can drop and still get back to 100% with just 1 day off. only extend them when it makes sense and can avoid 2 days off in a row. don't waste those freebies in schedule and you can maximize use as well as limiting playing detrimentally fatigued

~4-5 days should be doable. even 6, but if you do 6on/1off they will almost assuredly not recover fully from 1 day off every time and it might cost you GS in the long-run and defintely be playing near exhausted quite often. e.g. probably okay for a ~12-game stretch but not somethign you can maintain in any extended stretch of games.

~120 to low-130's g is doeable without extreme exertion. (guessing a bit, i use a custom schedule - no asg and 6on/1off each week).even so, 140-150 is ceiling with that more forgiving schedule and that would mean they are playing near exhaustion too often for my tastes. my catchers go 130-135 with an easier schedule np. (every 5th game subed, but "never" for favored split of that player)

i'll stretch them in that instance if a day off is coming "soon", then play them 1 less consecutive game the next cycle to avoid 2 days off in a row and still get to 100% on that 'next' cycle after i exerted him. that results in more GS and only 1game where they may have played a bit tired, but not exhausted (1-2% or whenver that verbage is used).

avoid 2 days off and under other circumstances avoid too many days that they don't recover to 100% - or 97-100 or 95%-100 etc..
