The Yankees have had one of the best (if not the best) hitting catchers in the entire game in Gary Sanchez the past couple of years. Unfortunately, that was not the case in 2018. The 25-year-old dealt with a down year at the plate, and it was compounded by defensive miscues and injuries. This allowed backup Austin Romine to see some extended playing time and even gave Kyle Higashioka a couple of stays in the big leagues. Here are the grades for these three catchers in 2018.
Gary Sanchez: F
I was teetering between a D- and an F before ultimately deciding on the latter based on expectations.
