Baseball Personal Catcher?

Are there any pitchers in MLB that have their own "personal catcher" who will catch almost every time that player pitches?

Other than Tim Wakefield (P) and Doug Mirabelli (C).

    Randy Johnson will only pitch to Kelly Stinnett (this year; last year it was Flaherty) Stinnett used to catch Johnson in AZ.
