Catcher prospects

I think some of us were a little surprised when Elias drafted so many catchers in the 2019 draft. I'm not sure if it was a glaring weakness he identified in the minor league system, if there is a strategy of getting good quality catchers throughout your system to help your pitchers develop, or if it was just a great catcher position draft?

But regardless, we now have some catchers who are performing better than expected:

Christopher Burgess 22,  .368/.538/.579

Harris Yett 23,                   .326/.375/.465

Jordan Cannon 22,          .267/.343/.467

 

add these guys in with AR and Maverick and Catcher kinda looks like a strength through our minor league system

You need a lot of catchers just to fill out the rosters.

AR by himself makes C a strength.
