For years, the catcher place has been one of many least productive offensive positions in baseball.
However in 2024, we’ve 5 catchers who’re at present ranked inside the highest 100 fantasy rankings, making them very worthwhile commodities in fantasy baseball.
Let’s check out the highest ten rated catchers to date this season and make some predictions about what the highest ten will seem like on the finish of the fantasy baseball season.

Present Prime 10 Catchers for Fantasy Baseball
Contreras and Rutschman are in a tier of their very own with elite manufacturing throughout 4 of the primary 5 offensive classes and it is arduous to see another catchers difficult them for the highest two spots.
Perez and Smith are in one other distinct second tier of their very own with the shocking manufacturing of David Fry not far behind.
There’s an enormous hole between Fry’s manufacturing and the sixth-rated catcher Ryan Jeffers, who ranks a hundred and fiftieth. Jeffers has comparable energy numbers, however his .233 batting common drags him down fairly a bit. Connor Wong is simply the other – he does not hit for a lot energy however has one of the best common of any full-time catcher (David Fry performs within the outfield and each nook infield positions) at .331.
Projected Prime 10 Catchers for Fantasy Baseball
Making an allowance for the remainder of the season projections from ATC and others (plus my very own opinion), this is how I see the ultimate prime ten catcher rankings shaking out by the top of this season.
William Contreras
Adley Rutschman
Will Smith
Salvador Perez
Yanier Diaz
J.T. Realmuto
Ryan Jeffers
David Fry
Cal Raleigh
Elias Diaz
I believe the highest 4 stay just about the identical and that we see Yanier Diaz and Realmuto work their approach up the ranks because the season goes alongside. Fry is not an on a regular basis participant and is bound to have some regression within the common division.
Whereas Wong has been an important story, I do not suppose he hangs within the prime ten all season and we get somebody like Cal Raleigh, who has 11 dwelling runs this season (second amongst all catchers) transfer as much as take his place.
