Luke Maile threw out baserunners with more than average aplomb for the Cincinnati Reds during the 2023 regular season, and his pop time ranked in the 70th percentile among all catchers across Major League Baseball, too. Pretty average with both blocking and the arm and not necessarily the world’s greatest pitch-framer, Maile also chipped in with a .307 wOBA and 86 wRC+ that made him just about as average with the bat for a catcher as could be (league average marks were .302 wOBA and 89 wRC+, for the record).
All told, that’s not a bad investment at the $1.
