Where Do We Go From Here: Part 6, Catcher

Unlike so many contributors here, I do not follow minor league baseball. So I’m generally handicapped in these “Where Do We Go From Here” stories because I’m ignorant. But this year, I watched every minor league game played at every level, so I’m caught up with you guys, at least until some of you start reporting from Winter Ball in Tierra del Fuego or somewhere.

In any case, that makes catcher pretty easy. We have Travis d’Arnaud (who my wife calls The Duck) and he had a 2020 that far outstripped what was expected of him, though not out of line with his short stint with the Rays in 2019, so it just might, barring injury, represent a sustainable level of performance.
