Since the Braves moved to Atlanta prior to the 1966 season, catcher has been a position of relative stability, with the team employing a handful of long-term catchers whose tenure with the team spanned nine years or longer.
Since 1990, the Braves had the luxury of having two catchers log more than 1,000 games behind the plate. While this retrospective looks at all the qualifying seasons for catchers since the beginning of the ‘90s, ultimately the conversation comes down to Brian McCann versus Javy Lopez as to who is the best catcher of this most-modern era of Braves baseball.
