Catcher's spot? (3)
I believe the answer is:
rye
'catcher's spot?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for rye that I've seen before include "Hardy annual cereal grass" , "Bitterly regret" , "Cereal used for making whiskey" , "Grass - whiskey" , "Cereal grass - Sussex Cinque Port" .)
