Charles Johnson was already great before he got to Colorado. Johnson was the fourth catcher in the majors to win a Gold Glove in his rookie season. The only others are Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk and Sandy Alomar Jr. While he didn’t have the offensive skillset that those all-time catchers did, he was a phenomenal catcher. His best year came for the World Champion Florida Marlins in 1997 where he had a 4.4 overall WAR. That year he set a record where he didn’t commit one error deservingly making it to his first All Star game that year.
