I think that catching also relies on having good eyesight/depth perception, so I have a feeling that some people who can’t catch very well probably need glasses (i.e. practice only goes so far).

For fly balls, maybe not. http://psychsciencenotes.blogspot.com/2011/10/prospective-control-i-outfielder.html
For line drives, probably more so, for footballs, even more so.
