The Los Angeles Dodgers are not only are flush with talent at the catching position in the Majors with Austin Barnes and Will Smith, but their organizational depth includes notable prospects Diego Cartaya and Keibert Ruiz.
Of course, Ruiz made his MLB debut last season and already spent a brief stretch up with the club this year. Cartaya, 19, is still in the early stages of his professional career and this season with Low-A Rancho Cucamonga is his first full campaign.
An injury did delay Cartaya’s 2021 debut until this past week, and he has quickly made up for lost time.
