The catcher position in Fantasy Baseball has never looked better. Currently, eight players qualify for the batting title, having played more than half their games in catcher and achieved at least a league-average OPS. This achievement is a tie for the highest number of catchers in a season since 1977.

I’m All-In

• Ivan Herrera, Cardinals – Herrera has displayed exceptional talent at the Triple-A level with a .285/.413/.457 average over 182 games. As he gains experience, he shows potential for a top-five catcher performance.

• Agustin Ramirez, Marlins – Entering the season as a top-100 prospect, Ramirez delivers a .267/.333/.593 average and looks set for success even outside the catcher position.

• Hunter Goodman, Rockies – With a solid batting average of .292, Goodman is a valuable addition although his sustainability is questioned.

I’m Half-In

• Drake Baldwin, Braves – With some playing time uncertainty, Baldwin’s potential is overshadowed but retains strong performance metrics.

• Miguel Amaya, Cubs – Despite being primarily a support role, Amaya shows promise with his hitting capability.

I Don’t Buy It

• Carlos Narvaez, Red Sox – Although he’s performed admirably, underlying statistics do not support his early season success, making him more of a lower-tier option.

• Carson Kelly, Cubs – Despite a strong start, Kelly’s performance has declined and his previous success appears unsustainable.
