Catcher isn’t the barren wasteland that it used to be, but it’s also not as deep as, say, shortstop or third base. It’s also a fairly young position, with seven of the ten best catchers 30 years old or younger (and only six of the top 25 are over the age of 30). Only one catcher topped thirty home runs last season (Cal Raleigh, with 34) and just six others hit 20 or more (William Contreras, Shea Langeliers, Salvador Perez, Ryan Jeffers, Will Smith and Logan O’Hoppe). On top of these productive “youngsters”, there are more than a handful of very talented catchers coming up through the minor leagues, including top prospects like Samual Basallo, Dalton Rushing and Kyle Teel, among others.

Anthony Kates

I’m a husband, father and fantasy sports fanatic. I’ve been playing some fantasy sport or other since the fall of 1996, thanks to one of my childhood best friends, Brent. I enjoy watching all major sports, reading fantasy novels, watching TV shows and movies, playing video games and writing about fantasy baseball. I started at Sports Ethos in 2023, just writing one article a week and cutting my teeth in fantasy sports writing and I am now a co-lead of the Fantasy Baseball department, co-host of the Fantasy MLB Today podcast and the author of two weekly articles, our dynasty baseball rankings and a handful of random articles a year. I support the Houston Astros, Dallas Mavericks, Tennessee Titans and all things Texas Longhorns.
