Sometime in the (hopefully) near future, Major League Baseball will resume. Once it does, the Yankees will find themselves potentially deciding who will play catcher in the 2021 season.
Last year’s starter, Gary Sanchez has done little to lock down the position. His backup, Kyle Higashioka, hit a measly .181/.246/.389. Finally, the free agent market at catcher is underwhelming at best.
While the Yankees have been in a bit of a slump behind the plate, that wasn’t always the case. The Bronx Bombers have had a history of talented catchers including former captain Thurman Munson, the energetic Jorge Posada, and Hall of Famer Yogi Berra.
