Catcher: Patrick Bailey, Giants
Bailey is among the elite defensive catchers in the game, particularly when it comes to framing — the Giants’ backstop led all catchers by a large margin with +25 framing runs last season, according to Statcast. He also ranked among the top three percent of catchers in Caught Stealing Above Average (+8, 97th percentile) and pop time (1.86, 99th). His 19 DRS also led all backstops in 2025.
