Yadi definitely is a shell of his former self but teams are still scared to run on him, pitchers are so much more comfortable with him behind the plate, and he is extremely clutch with the bat
Yadi has been a top 3 defensive Catcher since he started playing in St. Louis. He's not the best hitter the cards have, but he has always been someone you like to see at the plate in a clutch situation. He gets on base every time he needs to, but these rankings are based on batting stats, not defensive. Yadi is a beast, and I'm sad to see this be his last year. Hopefully we can find someone who'll be half as good as he is. He's an inspiration to young catchers, he was mine growing up.
As a Yankees fan, I can respect the placement of Sanchez. Just hasn’t been the same since 2019. He definitely has to work on his framing and blocking along with his plate discipline
I'm A Yankee fan that was saying they should have traded him after the 2018 season. Even at his best he's basically a middle of the pack overall catcher. You can have a bad defensive player, but having your worst defender be the player who is involved in the most plays is a bad idea. Now, he isn't even worth keeping as a DH. He should have been ranked below some minor league players.
@@snerdterguson I still have faith in Sanchez. I just have a sneaky feeling that he’s gonna have a good season this season. All he has to do is become better defensively
it's becaue they insist on having him catch on one knee to frame but it's fucked up his ability to catch what's thrown to him if Sanchez want a complete career he cant remain a Yankee
Thank you so much for ranking Salvy number 3. I don’t understand why ppl hate on him. I’m not even in KC and he’s my favorite player in baseball. Like you said. If you’re hitting 48 HOMERS AT THE CATCHER POSITION. Your defense doesn’t need to be outstanding. Just catch the ball and look pretty. The dude is just so likeable.
As a Mariners fan that’s what I was thinking the guy couldn’t hit a fucking barn unless it’s against the Mariners then he becomes Adrian fucking Beltre lol 😭
I think the sentiment of "if you hit 48 home runs, I don't care what you do defensively" can apply to any position EXCEPT catcher. If you're a weak defensive catcher, there's very little you can do offensively to compensate for that lost value.
@@sethoswald6726 salvy is horrible at everything except hitting some homeruns. Can’t do a single thing right in the game of baseball except get XBH against the weak ALC
@@sabercastpodcast Salvy does block and throw very well, his run production is very good despite never walking. He lead the majors in RBI. Literally his only weaknesses are framing and pitch calling.
@@sabercastpodcast RBI is situational and doesn’t matter when examining a player in a vacuum but it matters when evaluating how valuable a player was to their team, that’s why Abreu won MVP in 2020. The royals wouldn’t have scored nearly as many runs with an 85WRC+(the average catcher does not hit 100WRC+, that’s the average across all positions) average defensive catcher.
Marc, as a White Sox fan, I can appreciate your love for McCann, the guy was money during his tenure with the Sox. It's a shame we got the best, and the Mets got the rest.
@@krakeronkrak4365 but players who go to the Mets are never the same when they go. Lindor was not the best SS in the Majors this year. He probably wasn’t top 5
last year willson had an 8 DRS, and it’s obvious that his framing has come a long way to pair with his great blocking and insane arm. he’s turning into one of the best defensive catchers in baseball
I think Travis d’Arnaud was pretty snubbed here. The guy missed a ton of time in 2021 and was playing hurt even after he came back. He’s easily top 15 IMO
I think the dilemma here is that d'Arnaud doesn't have a very good track record. Yes, he had a good 2019 and 2020, but outside of that he hadn't really given much at the plate. His offense in 2021 was much closer to what he had hit previously. With his injury history and below average defense, I can't say I'd rank him any higher.
what he can do with a pitching staff is definitely extremely underrated. he was basically flawless in his game calling in the playoffs. but I do agree with Will, his durability is a major concern and should be classified as a weakness. Personally as a Braves fan I'd love to him split time with William Contreras next year.
I wonder what the Jays are going to do with their catcher situation. They're going to have Kirk, Jansen, Reese, and top prospect Gabriel Moreno on their roster in 2022....I wonder who stays, who goes, and who catches more. This is a good problem to have but I'm curious to see what they do with it
Moreno thé future, trade one of the other ones this year to make sure they develop. Jansen seems to have hit a ceiling but + Def so he’ll be attractive. Kirk is on a down year so I’ll wait and see if he bounces back to get more out of him in value. McGuire I don’t care but no rush to trade him.
I wonder if you truly value the catcher position. The value that a catcher has behind home as a field general cannot be understated. Saving runs via keeping stolen bases down and well called games can be far more productive than a strictly offensive catcher.
I agree, Yadi is the catcher I'd want. Calls a great game, an all time great defender, and even though he's not amazing with the bat, he gets on base and moves runners around.
Love the ranking video! I couldnt stop laughing at 13:29, where the outfielder just full on jumped in the stands and landed in the seats. Caught me off guard xD Btw, love seeing Stassi getting some love. The dude can play!
Narvaez, Stassi, Stallings, Murphy, Garver, Zunino, Contreras, Will Smith(this one is not close)>Salvy. Salvy being incompetent in the field makes him an average-slightly above average catcher. Will Smith literally does everything better.
I'm a Yankees fan, and I am annoyed that we signed an extension with Sanchez. Get Higgy up here, and he will mash and will probably get more starting time over Sanchez. Yes injuries, but Sanchez has the same probably
Will Smith has the highest ceiling out of the top 4. He’s going to dominate the league for the next 5 years and he is the youngest out of the top catchers.
@@mikevickilovedogs Yep, and even that is close. Having Smith at 4 is insane. Grandal since 2019: 129 OPS+ Smith Since 2019: 136 OPS+ having JT Realmuto 2 spots ahead with worse framing numbers and an OPS+ since 2019 of 112+ is just down right a bad opinion

I'm checking in with my first "like", but because I'm a 54 yr Met fan and I know that unlike fans of the bronx bummers aren't as knowledgeable about the game as we are. That said a catcher's defense is more important than their bat. Likewise most catchers are supposed to be contact hitters not power guys. Judgments made mainly on offensive production isn't what most good managers would do. LGM. 👍🏾
I will say that D'arnaud had a thumb injury so I don't think he was himself when he was hitting this year. He should be better next year on both sides once he has actual time to rest and heal completely
@@snerdterguson Gary's only value is in his bat but he's just not consistent. Honestly I feel he's got a better future as a first baseman or a DH somewhere else. Given his terrible defense as a catcher, a position that in my mind I would value defense for more than offense. And the fact given his size might hinder him as he gets older. Higgy is far better than him at the position. Yes he's not the same offensive threat but he doesn't need to be on a team with Judge, Stanton, Voit (Rizzo if re-signed) on the team
@@41Brother2 I wouldn’t put a fielding glove on Gary’s hand in any situation at this point. I’d rather call to the bullpen for a first baseman. Lol. He might be able to be a DH, but I never like having anyone on the team who can’t field at all.
