Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno ranked seventh on MLB Now’s Top 10 Catchers Right Now last night. The 2023 Gold Glove Award winner, who ranked 10th on the Top 10 Catchers Right Now countdown last year, finished one spot ahead of All-Star Alejando Kirk of the Toronto Blue Jays and one spot behind the Houston Astros’ Yainer Diaz. Here’s what the program had to say about Moreno.
It’s interesting to see him ranked just ahead of Kirk, because part of the purpose of trading Moreno from Toronto was because he was seen as blocked by Kirk.
