Nobody would say that the catcher position was a weakness for the Yankees in 2022. Although they were not the most offensively potent duo in the league, the tandem of Platinum Glove recipient and All-Star Jose Trevino and backup catcher Kyle Higashioka provided so much value as pitch framers that they accrued a combined 5.4 fWAR; only the Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, and Atlanta Braves saw more production from their backstops than the Yankees did.
That said, the unit’s success in 2022 does not mean that it enters 2023 without questions whatsoever.
