After we went over the top 10 for 2026 fantasy baseball and the top 20 for 2026 fantasy baseball in our (my) 2026 fantasy baseball rankings, it’s time for the meat and potatoes rankings. Something to stew about! Hop in the pressure cooker, crank it up to “Intense” and let’s rock with the top 20 catchers for 2026 fantasy baseball. Am I selling you on the top 20 catchers being exciting? No? Good, don’t want to give you the wrong impression. Here’s Steamer’s 2026 Fantasy Baseball Projections for Hitters and 2026 Fantasy Baseball Projections for Pitchers. The projections noted in this post are my own, and I mention where tiers start and stop. Subscriptions are up and running, and you can already get Rudy’s Draft War Room. Anyway, here’s the top 20 catchers for 2026 fantasy baseball:
NOTE: All my 2026 fantasy baseball rankings are currently available on Patreon for the price of a Starbucks coffee, if you get one of those extra grande frappuccino jobbers. Don’t wait for the rankings to come out over the next month, and get them all now.
1. Cal Raleigh – This tier goes from here until here. I call this tier, “To paraphrase Sir Mix-A-Lot, ‘I like big butts, but not this guy.” Is it puzzling that Raleigh plays in Seattle where Sir Mix-A-Lot’s from and never once did they invite Sir to the games to gaze on Raleigh’s back porch? Yes, it is curious. If you were from the Mariners organization, and Sir Mix-A-Lot were in good health, which I think he is, why wouldn’t you have Sir — Mr. Mix-A-Lot? — come and sing to Raleigh? He can’t be that busy. What is Mr. Mix-A-Lot up to? At an auto show singing to car bumpers? Use his song as Cal’s walk-up music at least, right? Something, right? Shouldn’t Cal choose his own walk-up music, you might be thinking, and I don’t know why you’re so concerned about this? Wait, I’m the one concerned about this. So, I actually love Cal Raleigh. It’s a Big Dumper and I am an early adopter. And he hits big ass homers, literally. I just won’t ever draft him where he’s being drafted. So, I don’t love him for fantasy, that’s it.
I usually start my catcher rankings with my position scarcity rant, but that will have to wait until Shea Langeliers’s blurb. First, we need to dig in on the Dumper like we’re Bobby Brown digging out dookie bubbles. First, let’s take me out of the equation and just look at Raleigh’s projections from others: 90/39/94/.230/8 in 551 ABs. That’s realistic. That’s around Eugenio Suarez last year minus 20 RBIs, so Eugenio was ranked on the Player Rater at 24th overall, and take 20 RBIs of value off his $26.6 knocks him back to around 40th overall. Currently, I have him ranked around 35. That’s just being realistic if everything holds together health-wise and Cal doesn’t “slump” back to who he was prior to this insane year. Slump in scare quotes because he wasn’t bad in previous seasons, he just wasn’t Mickey Mantle with a giant ass. 2026 Projections: 84/42/103/.234/6 in 538 ABs
2. Shea Langeliers – This tier goes from here until Rice. I call this tier, “Fruit of the poisonous tree.” As I’ve said in past years, and will now say again, catchers are tainted as a position, so this tier is fruit of the poisonous tree. It is tainted because they are catchers. That’s according to Marcia Clark’s How Attorneys May Motion or Express References or as it’s known in the law community, MC HAMMER. In MC HAMMER, it clearly explains how if you grab a catcher after I tell you, ‘U Can’t Touch This,’ you will receive nothing but scorn and smack on the wrist as I slide-dance my feet over to you in very baggy pants.
Position scarcity doesn’t exist. It was made up by someone who had a clever name for something, and shoved their strategy into it. It’s a classic case of the tail wagging the dog. Two dozen years ago, someone who thought they were much smarter than they were said, “If I draft a top catcher, and everyone else has a weak catcher, I will do well. I will call this position scarcity. Wow, I am so clever I deserve a cupcake with ‘Clever’ written in frosting.” Then Mr. Clever Cupcake perpetuated position scarcity for decades, and others heard and thought it was too clever to ignore. Like it’s some kind of get out of jail free card. Speaking of which, “position scarcity” is similar to, “A cop has to tell you they are a cop.” According to movies, maybe, but cops don’t have to tell you shizz. Any hoo! At no point did anyone stop in the last 25 years and think, when people made this position scarcity strategy up, it was Mike Piazza hitting 40 homers and .360 and the third best catcher was Mike Lieberthal going 59/20/77/.246/3, that’s roughly the 12th best catcher last year, i.e., Yainer Diaz (56/20/70/.256/1 in 542 ABs). Some catchers were great when they were plugging their butts with syringes filled with The Juice, and most were awful. There was actual position scarcity. Not saying the catchers are great now, but they’re a lot better overall. Also, in one-catcher leagues, you could draft the 12th best catcher, get to the 3rd day of the season and pick up Goodman last year who was the 2nd best catcher, or just drafted Langeliers last year at 200 overall, and got the third best catcher or Ben Rice who went at 272 overall and in only five total RCL drafts, i.e., he was available everywhere. Ugh! That’s my point! Catchers are available everywhere.
Cal Raleigh went 111th overall last year.
Just gonna let that hang in the air for a bit.
Okay, and back in: All of that is a long way of saying I do not draft a catcher until around 150 in a two-catcher league and around 200th overall in a one catcher league.
As for Langeliers, I like him a lot. Okay, I like everyone in Bing Bong. I have Bing Bong Fever and the only thing that can cure it is more Bing Bongs! You give me a stadium where every stupid fly ball goes out for a homer? Yeah, I like that. Bit surprised to see Langeliers after William Contreras in some drafts too. Langeliers just went 31/7/.277 in only 123 games! He cut his Ks from 27.2 to 19.7%. Zoinks! Giddy the eff up! If he can get even ten to fifteen more games, and we’re stat-padding, baby! Am I still ignoring him if he’s drafted before 150? Yes, but what if he fell in a two-catcher league? A man can get excited for a hypothetical, can’t he? 2026 Projections: 78/33/84/.257/5 in 503 ABs
3. Ivan Herrera – Doesn’t have catcher eligibility on all sites, so be very careful when drafting. Or be “vewy vewy careful” if Elmer Fudd is reading. If Herrera is eligible as a catcher in your league, he is about to be overdrafted because of the magic serum that turns every fantasy baseballer’s eyes into saucers. The one thing that even the most seasoned fantasy baseballer will see and turn them into mush. [sees a catcher-eligible player slotted into another position besides catcher, fantasy baseballer melts into a puddle of goo] Damn, cousin, you just turned to goo, didn’t you? Herrera could do the goo too, because he has elite batted ball profile skills. Rather than going full goo, I slotted Herrera in here, but strongly considered him as the 2nd best catcher. In the end, Bing Bong [better than or equal to] goo. 2026 Projections: 77/24/83/.281/10 in 486 ABs
4. William Contreras – Like Da Ass Man suffered in the MVP voting from Aaron Judge existing, Contreras suffered from Cal being there. Contreras was down a bit from previous years in power, but he was not bad at all, after being drafted first for catchers. He went 17/6/.260 with a .299 BABIP, which is low for him, though his HardHit% was down a bit, so I wouldn’t expect a huge bounce back, but a modest one could be in store. It’s all moot if he’s drafted before 150? Yeah, moving on. 2026 Projections: 93/20/87/.271/5 in 554 ABs
5. Agustin Ramirez – Guys and five very hip girl readers, I love Agustin. Call him St. Agustin and weld me a coin charm to hang on my 18-karat necklace and let me kiss it every time he comes up to bat. If he falls to 150th overall in a two-catcher league, I will pounce. Last year he went 21/16/.231 as a rookie in 537 ABs and he will play every day as a DH, while catching enough games to keep his eligibility. He hit .231 with a 19.3% strikeout rate. Again, as a rookie! He is only 24, and I had to work very hard to not rank him above Contreras. His projections will even sound a bit better, but remember there’s more risk here. But more barely. Which is not how Souplantation stretches their soups, that’s more barley. 2026 Projections: 80/26/84/.244/15 in 562 ABs
6. Drake Baldwin – It should go without explanation, which is what I say right before I explain something that I’ve explained already but want to make sure it’s clear so will repeat myself: All of the catchers in this tier are off limits in one or two catcher leagues, but — again with some stank — BUT! if they fall to the 150th overall range in a two-catcher league or to 200th overall in one-catcher leagues, then I’d be fine with drafting any of them. I do not hate them, I simply don’t draft catchers that high.
As for Baldwin, it’s funny how Baldwon the Rookie of the Year and Agustin came in 6th without one single vote above 4th place, and for fantasy I want Agustin all day, due to a little something I call “steals.” Actually, a lot of people call them that. Nothing wrong with Baldwin though. He could see a ton of at-bats at DH. 2026 Projections: 69/24/85/.277/1 in 511 ABs
7. Will Smith – Ya know how they say the older you get the quicker the years go? Well, if you don’t, they do say that. I don’t know who “they” is! It’s not important. Anyway, that’s how I feel with Will Smith. He’ll be 31 when the season starts. 31?! Didn’t he just enter the league? His first full season was after the pandemic! What on earth is going on with the clock? Did someone speed it up? 2026 Projections: 74/20/77/.268/2 in 466 ABs
8. Ben Rice – Not to take anything away from Rice, because I do think he’s decent, but his statline: 26/3/.255 is so hilariously “two thumbs up but while the person yawns.” It’s fine! Listen, it’s better than Mike Lieberthal in 1997! (Yes, that’s the 2nd reference to a random catcher from 29 years ago.) Like Marco Polo might’ve said when he first arrived in Asia, you people might be a bit too excited for Rice. He can’t hit lefties, and Aaron Boone should not let him face them. 2026 Projections: 69/22/74/.242/2 in 454 ABs
9. Yainer Diaz – This is a new tier. This tier goes until Teel. I call this tier, “*manually turning a red light to a green light*” This tier starts your “drafting catcher engine.” Maybe my head-melon has officially started leaking brain custard, but catchers feel deeper than they’ve felt in a long time. They won’t prolly feel this way at the end of the year, but they look deep now. Also, I usually don’t draft catchers until after 200th overall in one-catcher leagues, unless a guy falls, so, it depends on where these guys are going, clearly. I’m not reaching. In two-catcher leagues, you should absolutely grab at least one of the guys in this tier, and I usually draft my 1st catcher in two-catcher leagues around 150th overall, then punt your 2nd catcher, while still getting a catcher who starts. I’ll go over 2nd catchers in a few tiers.
As for Yainer, I’m writing this in November, so it might change by the time you read it (though, I doubt it changes that much), and Yainer’s ADP is 120 in two-catcher leagues and Ben Rice is at 75. Yainer is a 22/2/.260 hitter and Ben Rice is a 22/2/.240 hitter. Rice has better lineup and park, but Yainer should hit for a higher average. That’s what happens when people draft too early. ADP gets baked in when people are drafting without a full picture and then months later people assume the ADP makes sense, when it never really does. (For what it’s Cronenworth, Yainer’s ADP since January 1st is 110 and Rice is 46. So, it makes even less sense now. Steamer’s rankings has them: Rice at 94 and Yainer at 127, which makes more sense.) 2026 Projections: 62/22/70/.264/2 in 531 ABs
10. Hunter Goodman – So, I kinda think Hunter Goodman is gonna suck, but that’s based solely on Nolan Jones and Brenton Doyle. There’s no way a Rockies hitter can follow-up a solid season. What I think is happening, they get one season, then the team notifies the owner Dick Monfort and the player is called into his office, and Dick tells them in no certain terms, “Do the exact opposite of whatever it was you just did.” And that’s the end of that. If you’re good after talking to Dick, you’re getting traded away, or benched. Rockies can’t have sustained greatness. 2026 Projections: 70/24/77/.248/1 in 481 AB
11. Samuel Basallo – Already gave you a Samuel Basallo fantasy. It was written while dancing on my own to Robyn. Note about the ranking: I had Basallo lower, but moved him up because why not go for upside? Not to answer, but to ruminate. 2026 Projections: 51/26/62/.241/1 in 413 ABs
12. Salvador Perez – I drafted Sal Perez in one league last year and would again this year. You know what’s great about Sal P.? He plays every day and has power. What’s not so great? [vaguely waves at everything else] But for a catcher, power and opportunities are enough. 2026 Projections: 52/28/87/.231 in 587 ABs
13. Francisco Alvarez – This is similar to my Basallo ranking note. Alvarez is an upside play. So far he’s hit well in the majors, he just keeps having terrible luck with injuries. If Fran-Al is healthy and the Mets are no longer cursed after their 40-year cursed streak, then I like the Alvarez bounce back. 2026 Projections: 58/25/73/.243/1 in 471 ABs
14. Kyle Teel – Yes, upside again. Why not? I’m seriously asking now and not being rhetorical. It’s a catcher slot. If the upside doesn’t work, then drop him and grab, I don’t know, Sean Murphy. Last year, Teel had a 8/3/.273 season in only 253 ABs, and 16/10/.280-ish if you combine minors and majors. Try the upside! 2026 Projections: 69/15/52/.281/8 in 431 ABs
15. Logan O’Hoppe – This is a new tier. This tier goes from here until Murphy. I call this tier, “Shrug while drafting.” These are your second catchers in a two-catcher league. Just draft one. 2nd catchers are this tier and next tier. This tier is slightly better. Hence, it being in a tier higher! Do you see how this works?! Sorry, I had too much coffee. If I do my top 500 correctly, and I will, this is after 275 overall. Usually I have 12 catchers in the top 275 — See, that’s how many players are drafted and everyone should draft one catcher — but Herrera won’t have catcher eligibility in some leagues, so that leaves 13 and that’s fine.
As for O’Hoppe, he is a 20-homer, .230 hitter, neutrally. I am being extremely positive to remain neutral and not actively gag. 2026 Projections: 51/20/60/.231/2 in 447 ABs
16. Adley Rutschman – There’s nothing funnier than how tripped up prospect people became with Orioles catchers. Matt Wieters was supposed to be better than Yogi Berra, and then Adley came along and was supposed to be Babe Ruth behind the plate. Look at Adley’s player page on Fangraphs where they have his prospect grades: 70 Grade! “An intense charismatic leader!” They have that for his prospect description. Come on! Adley shouldn’t even had been the Orioles’ number one catcher as a 27-year-old. To give you a bigger picture idea here though, this ranking is around 300 overall, so take a flyer on Adley and if he works, great. If he doesn’t, no real pot commitment. 2026 Projections: 54/14/59/.243/1 in 441 ABs
17. Dillon Dingler – [Us, Dillon’s Dinglers, sitting in the stands, dressed as poop emojis, doing the wave, and when we sit down, someone in front of us throws water in our faces to mimic a toilet splashing up] That’s me at our next Dillion Dingler Fan Club meeting. So, Dingler feels like such a trap. He was fine last year for a late 2nd catcher, but if you were to take his stats from last year (13 HRs, .278) and say that’s what you’d get again, would you even want it? 2026 Projections: 51/15/56/.251 in 421 ABs
18. Moises Ballesteros – Already gave you a Moises Ballesteros fantasy. So, I have a pretty big caveat for you here. He was ranked about 100 spots later in the overall and around Keibert Ruiz, when I didn’t think he had catcher eligibility anywhere. Now, I think he has catcher eligibility in Yahoo. If you’re drafting somewhere he’s UT-Only, then I wouldn’t draft him here, but rather down by Keibert. 2026 Projections: 47/14/51/.277/3 in 341 ABs
19. J.T. Realmuto – Re-signed with the Phils. They weren’t really going into the season with Rafael Marchan as their starter. [a pause so pregnant it’s like it was impregnated by Nick Cannon] No, they weren’t. Welcome back, Jerry Tomato Realmuto, the world’s most boring reliable catcher. 2026 Projections: 51/11/50/.244/5 in 412 ABs
20. Austin Wells – Catcher rankings are incredibly fickle because there are smaller sample sizes. That’s what she said, derisively! What I mean is if 15 guys are going 15-20 homers and .230 thru .250, then a guy who goes 22/.245 with 75 RBIs is going to end up as a top ten catcher, but a guy who goes 22/.225 with 55 RBIs might barely be in the top 30, but are they that different? Meh, not really. In other words, Wells could be more valuable than Rice this year by just getting lucky on average. 2026 Projections: 53/19/66/.227/4 in 412 ABs
21. Alejandro Kirk – Had him ranked much higher, saw he only gave average and I body-checked myself into wall. When I woke, I remembered don’t pay for average in a guy who might barely get 400 ABs. You wanna die from boredom, draft yourself a guy who goes 1-for-3 with 1 RBI four days a week, sits for two days and goes 0-for-3 on the seventh. 2026 Projections: 42/13/63/.271 in 422 ABs
22. Gabriel Moreno – He’s a poor man’s Alejandro Kirk. Call him Alejanky. 2026 Projections: 48/10/52/.281/2 in 403 ABs
23. Tyler Stephenson – This is a new tier. This tier goes from here until Jeffers. I call this tier, “Shrug while holding nose.” This is it for 2nd catchers in two-catcher leagues. It’s now or never, over-the-internet friend.
As for Stephenson, he actually is a great example of what I was saying in the Wells blurb. Stephenson was great in 2024 with the stats 19/1/.258. Last year he was awful at 13/0/.231. Those are basically rounding errors. 2026 Projections: 51/15/62/.240/1 in 409 ABs
24. Carlos Narvaez – The Sawx kept Wong and I thought, “Well, guess now’s a good time to stop playing King Missile’s Detachable Penis on repeat.” 2026 Projections: 56/16/62/.237/1 in 431 ABs
25. Edgar Quero – Saw an article this offseason asking, Should the White Sox trade away one of their young catchers? Ah, yeah, ya know, the young catchers they just acquired in two big trades. Ideally, Teel plays outfield and Quero catches. Or Quero DHs and Teel catches. Or, well, as long as there’s donkey manure in four to five slots in the lineup, Quero and Teel should get playing time. Clearly, from their ranking, Teel is more interesting to me, as of now. By the way, I might sound negative on these 2nd catchers in a two-catcher league, which I am, but I’d still draft them. Just keep expectations in Czech. 2026 Projections: 49/10/63/.272/1 in 438 ABs
26. Bo Naylor – In the last two years, he hit .201 and .195. That’s hard to do but it gets more difficult! He did it with a 31.4 K% for the .201 average, but he had a 23.9 K% for the .195 average! How does one cut their Ks that much and get worse to a sub-.200 average? That’s stumping Elias Sports Bureau. 2026 Projections: 52/15/50/.203/3 in 371 ABs
27. Ryan Jeffers – Twins’ manager Rocco Baldelli is gone! Long live, lineups that don’t change every day! We are free to lock down a hitter in one lineup spot! It’s glorious! [enter Twins’ free agent signing Victor Caratini] Ugh, more platoons. 2026 Projections: 41/13/44/.257/1 in 347 ABs
28. Sean Murphy – Feels like a guy I’m going to have a lot of shares of in two-catcher leagues where I punt the 2nd catcher. How bad could he be again? There’s nothing like a Murphy’s Law to tell me. If he stays on the field, he’s good for 20 homers and nothing else, but who cares? Plus, he’s the last possible 2nd catcher, and I like to punt my catchers. In fairness to the giant melon on my shoulders, you know who I drafted in a bunch of leagues last year as the latest possible 2nd catcher? Hunter Goodman. 2026 Projections: 54/17/57/.215 in 366 ABs
29. Keibert Ruiz – This is a new tier. This tier goes until Pages. I call this tier, “So, a fly landed on your team’s catcher spot and you thought you filled it when you hadn’t.” As for Ruiz, he went 19/2/25/.247/0 last year in 255 ABs. I just vomited and the vomit spelled out, “Gross.” Don’t worry, he had a full year in 2024 that shows his true level: 13/3/.229. Wait, is that better? If I draft Keibert, Imma curse like Q-Bert, “!(@#@$%^&*!” 2026 Projections: 37/11/42/.234/1 in 391 ABs
30. Carson Kelly – Cubs have Kelly and Amaya, which is a cluster to predict playing time. Just a bunch of jerkoffs–Oh, wait, they don’t have Reese McGuire anymore. Yes, it seems like Kelly is the frontrunner for the number one catcher job, and last year at this time it seemed like it was Amaya’s job. Watch Jizzie McGuire get re-signed. 2026 Projections: 41/15/46/.239/1 in 361 ABs
31. Patrick Bailey – He has a statline of 122/21/149/.230/6 in 1136 ABs. Not bad! If Giants get into one extra inning game that goes 16,000 innings, and he catches them all, he could eclipse those numbers this year alone! 2026 Projections: 51/9/56/.219/2 in 414 ABs
32. Freddy Fermin – Going off what I said with Bailey, Fermin has 99/20/94/.264/3 in only 882 ABs. These guys rock! Freddy Fermin is also awesome to throw out early in an auction and hope someone thinks you said Freddie Freeman. You, mumbling, “Freddie Fermin for $1.” Them, “I’ll go to $20. Hmm…I might have less for my outfield, but I like that for a future Hall of Famer 1st baseman…” Then you howl in laughter. 2026 Projections: 43/8/51/.257/2 in 403 ABs
33. Danny Jansen – Kyle Higashioka seemed like the future of the Yankees, then he replaced Jonah Heim, who seemed like the future of Rangers, then Higashioka was replaced by Jansen, a guy who prospblocked the future of franchises at every team he’s every played for. Don’t worry, he can’t hold back the actual future of the franchise at catcher, the Rangers’ 1st round draft pick Malcolm Moore, who hit .198 last year in High-A with two homers–Okay, so there’s no future of the franchise is what you’re telling me. 2026 Projections: 46/13/53/.222/2 in 404 ABs
34. Nick Fortes – Okay, one more, 127/28/107/.224/11 in 1068 ABs in Nick Fortes’s career line. I’m sorry, it cracks me up that guys have worse stats than Ohtani or Judge with 600 more ABs. Maybe the Rays turn to Dominic Keegan. Can’t be much worse. Though, doubtful he’s much better either. 2026 Projections: 46/6/48/.226/1 in 385 ABs
35. Pedro Pages – Was a bit surprised to see Pages ranked much lower than this in early ADP. Then again, he went 11/0/.243 in full-time duty last year so what other really boring things surprise me? That jellyfish aren’t actually made of jelly? Does that surprise my little pea brain? 2026 Projections: 44/13/51/.236/1 in 397 ABs
36. Carter Jensen – This is the last tier of catchers. I call this tier, “Love that you punted catcher and went upside. Hopefully your team is good in 2028!” So, this is clearly just total flyers.
As for Jensen, here’s what Jakkers said in his dynasty catchers ranks, “In the limited amount of games he played in he did well. Unlike (Henry) Davis, I would consider him a sleeper to watch, and if you are feeling bold, grab early (in keepers). He finished the 2025 season ranked as the 39th best prospect by MLB thanks to a .290/.377/.501 slash line across Double-A and Triple-A this past season. In 20 games with the Royals, he continued to hit the ball as he slashed .300/.391/.550 with three homers and 13 RBI. Additionally he had a 17.4 K% to go with a 13.0 BB%.” I don’t see the at-bats as long as Perez is around. If you’re drafting Jensen, you’re just guessing Perez is gonna get hurt, when Perez always plays. I’ll be excited for Jensen in 2028. 2026 Projections: 37/10/33/.268/5 in 276 ABs
37. Victor Caratini – Signed with the Twins. More like Caratwini! High five me! Right now! No? Okay. The platoon of Caratini and Jeffers doesn’t scream value from both guys, but Jeffers and Josh Bell are likely to be traded, so Caratini could have everyday at-bats at catcher, DH or 1st by July, and last year Caratini was about as valuable as Jeffers, which is to say barely worth it in the deepest of leagues. Also, a side note, I saw FanGraphs had Caratini as the everyday DH to which I say, maybe, but it’s January, and give Caratini 500 ABs and he’s still likely a 15-homer hitter. Though, that would up his counting stats, obviously. 2026 Projections: 33/10/36/.261/1 in 303 ABs
38. Dalton Rushing – Listen, you fell asleep and woke with drool on your chin and an indentation of the Holy Bible on your face, so you can do worse than a total flyer on a guy who has a top ten catcher in front of him. 2026 Projections: 27/7/28/.241/2 in 202 ABs
39. Liam Hicks – He’s actually kinda interesting, like a monkey that can roller skate. Do you want him on roller skates delivering you beers? Prolly not, but it’s kinda interesting! 2026 Projections: 31/5/27/.261/3 in 207 ABs
40. Joe Mack – Here’s what Itch said, “He’s a little bit blocked by the major league team’s second-best bat, which isn’t ideal, but it’s not an emergency. They can split the catching job and play a fair bit of designated hitter or first base. Plus, Mack didn’t exactly force the issue in Triple-A, slashing .250/.320/.459 with 18 home runs and eight stolen bases. That’d be nice for a fantasy catcher, of course, and Mack’s a good defender, so I don’t think the team will drag its feet waiting for him to hit .300 or something. I’d like to drag my feet on Grey’s head.” What? I might be ranking Mack here after getting burned by ignoring Agustin last year, so what better way to make up for it than ranking three Marlins catchers? 2026 Projections: 24/10/28/.231/6 in 226 ABs
41. Henry Davis – Gotta imagine the Pirates want Hammerin’ Hank Davis as their catcher over Joey Bart. Last year Bart hit four homers and .249 in 285 ABs, so it’s not exactly a tough competition. But no fear! Davis will make it a close competition as he hit .167 in 252 ABs last year. 2026 Projections: 32/14/34/.188/4 in 303 ABs
