My Tim McCarver (arm 81) has 32% CS in 1825 GS, 449 CS or 0.78 attempts per game.
My Yadier Molina (arm 91) has 36% CS in 1226 GS, 286 CS or 0.65 attempts per game.
So they appear to run less on Molina. That's a pretty big sample size so I might conclude that I am seeing less attempts because I have good catcher arms.
Of course, some of this depends upon the hold rating of your pitchers. Most of my staff has hold ratings better than 50%, the only one that does not is perfect Cy at 34%.
