Now we’ve come to the number one catcher. The guy who’s number one at the position on my board and should be on yours as well for 2020 fantasy baseball. Realmuto may be the best overall catcher in the game today and put up those numbers with a meniscus tear in his knee that he got surgery on in late September.
Realmuto was fourth in homers, first in runs and RBI, seventh in average and slugging percentage, and ninth in wOBA among catchers with at least 100 plate appearances.
Realmuto should have more of an opportunity to put up even better numbers this season, with a healthy Andrew McCutchen and Didi Gregorius a part of the lineup now. Realmuto can really do it all and won’t kill your batting average either. This is what makes him my number one catcher for 2020 fantasy baseball.
So there you have it. The top 10 catchers to target in 2020 fantasy baseball. Is anyone too high? Too low? Anyone left out that should be on the list? Leave a comment below or let us know on social media.
