Even though the White Sox catchers were not big home run hitters, as a whole, they did well offensively and defensively.
Three men filled the catching position throughout the season: Welington Castillo, Kevan Smith, and Omar Narvaez. Castillo was signed in the 2018 off-season and began the season as the everyday catcher. Then, on May 24, he was suspended for PED violations and did not return to the team until September.
This meant that the main catcher responsibilities went to Omar Narvaez, who was originally the back-up catcher. His backup catcher became Kevan Smith, who started the season in Triple-A Charlotte.
