Your math is probably a little high there, if for no other reason than of the 120 pitches that are thrown, the catcher probably only catches about half of them, since many are hit before they reach the catcher's glove.  In addition, a fair proportion are obvious strikes or obvious balls regardless of who is the catcher.

Are there any studies which quantify how many balls a good catcher can turn into strikes in a typical game?
