2025 Catcher Preview

Eno and DVR continue their position preview series at catcher, where the league formats (one-catcher leagues v. two-catcher leagues) have a considerable impact on how to approach the group. Does William Contreras provide enough value over his position mates to justify at Top-30 overall ADP (in two-catcher leagues). Where is there value at the position, and which situations are better to avoid?

Rundown 5:38 ADP Tier 1 -- The William Contreras Tier 12:07 ADP Tier 2 -- Yainer Diaz, Adley Rutschman, Salvador Perez, Willson Contreras, Cal Raleigh & Will Smith 34:00 ADP Tier 3 -- Shea Langeliers, Logan O’Hoppe, J.T. Realmuto, Tyler Stephenson & Francisco Alvarez 43:28 ADP Tier 4 -- Gabriel Moreno, Austin Wells & Keibert Ruiz 52:19 ADP Tier 5 -- Sean Murphy, Iván Herrera, Connor Wong, Ryan Jeffers & Joey Bart 1:10:12 ADP Tier 6 -- Alejandro Kirk, Bo Naylor, Patrick Bailey & Jonah Heim 1:14:36 -- The Late, Late Catchers of Interest (Beyond Pick 300)
