Catcher Payton Henry is quickly turning himself into one of the more exciting young backstops in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system. The system has been largely devoid of top catching prospects for years.
The Crew still doesn’t have a set catcher of the future.

Henry, if he can continue to make more progress, could end up establishing himself as that catcher of the future.
