Top 50 Orioles of All Time: #23, Chris Hoiles

#23 - Chris Hoiles, C (1989 - 1998)

The Orioles franchise has had some really good catchers come through the doors at Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards. Rick Dempsey was World Series MVP in 1983. Matt Wieters won a pair of Gold Gloves and earned a spot in four All-Star games.

Chris Hoiles doesn’t have a trophy cabinet full of awards he won as a big leaguer. But that doesn’t impact his standing in Orioles history. He was better than Dempsey. He was better than Wieters. Hoiles is the best Orioles catcher of all time.
