The catching market is a little deeper than you may think. Young catchers are coming up and starting to rise up the rankings while veterans are still there and still productive meaning you can wait at the position and maybe target someone further down the road in your draft instead of maybe going after the top of the charts.

Catching is a hard position to look at year to year because of the wear and tear they take at the position.

So who are the top 10 catchers to target for your fantasy baseball time? Let’s take a dive in and find out.
