separate catcher stats

Would it be possible to add (yet) another category for catcher specific putouts vs fielding putouts?
Catchers get putouts for strikeouts. However, players rotate among positions in youth baseball/softballs. It is difficult to determine fielding percentage for the non-catcher related fielding - the fielding percentage is high due to credit for strikeouts. It would be nice to calculate fielding percentage for their time at other positions so that players' fielding percentages are more directly comparable.
