Henry Chadwick coined the term, drawing from the military sense of the term artillery battery. It also suggests a play on words, as its activities center on the batter.

You need one so the other can work...need a catcher to call the game and the pitcher to control the game...catcher is usually called the battery mate and it's only fitting that the word "batter" is in this term

Both ends of the "battery" work together to get outs.
ex. two strikes on the batter. the catcher calls for a slider to fall away from the batter. the batter swings and misses. the both worked together

The pitcher and catcher are the one's that give juice to the game.
