One of my teammates gets private lessons from another coach, and he said they have been working on a "deep catch" for his freestyle. At a recent meet, I heard another guy talking about the same thing. What exactly does this mean? I want to know if I already do it or if it is something to work on. Thanks!

It means keep your arm nearly straight during the pull.
nearly straight = dropper elbow so it don't look a great move, even more if you've long arms, only maybe with a Bernard-like arm it can be a good move or with a very short arm, like a 5-5/5-7 women, Lenton/trickett use a deep pull but she's a on the short side, his elbow is still very high due at his "short" upper arm.
