With pitchers and catchers getting ready to report to spring training this week, we take a look back at the top catchers in the history of the Phillies.
Honorable mentions:
These men were behind the plate for most of the first 31 seasons in franchise history. While likely not household names except to the most prominent Phillies historians, their accomplishments are worth mentioning.
Jack Clements (1884 – 1897)
Clements had his best season in 1893 when he hit .285 with 17 home runs and 80 RBI. He ranks first among catchers in franchise history in runs and RBI, second in hits and third in stolen bases.
