LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers catching has been a strength both on offense and defense this season, though especially on offense the year can be divided into two distinct periods for both main parties. Yasmani Grandal and A.J. Ellis both figure to factor heavily in the Dodgers' plans in the National League Division Series and beyond this postseason.
Dodgers catchers this season hit .241/.360/.411 with 23 home runs and 97 walks, leading the National League in on-base percentage, OPS, wOBA (.341), wRC+ (120) and walks, while second in the league in home runs and third in slugging percentage.
