Coming off a season in which he played a key role in the Los Angeles Dodgers winning their first World Series since 1988, Will Smith was ranked among the top 10 catchers by MLB Network’s The Shredder.
Smith, who was only recognized by analysts heading into last season, was ranked No. 3 by The Shredder. With the 2020 campaign shortened to just 60 games, the list for this season was compiled by taking into account a three-year sample.
It also entailed The Shredder rankings from the past two years, Statcast metrics, and the most weight for defense at any position.
