The catcher position in Fantasy baseball continues to be top-heavy, with one name standing above the crowd, two others drawing relatively early attention in drafts, and then everyone else scrambling to find an answer in the later rounds. But those potential late-round options include an intriguing set of prospects and young talent, starting with one of the top players in professional baseball who has yet to make his debut, Orioles prospect Adley Rutschman.

So how should you attack the position heading into your draft? I've done several mock and real snake and salary cap drafts heading into the 2022 MLB season, and I'm here to share the things I've learned so far. If you're a regular subscriber to SportsLine, you probably know me from dominating NFL picks for years, but did you know I actually got my start in sports media as a fantasy baseball analyst? I even finished No. 1 among all experts for my draft rankings the first year FantasyPros tracked MLB expert accuracy on their site.

Let's dive into the catcher position with my tiers and talk about which players I'm more bullish on than the consensus. You can also check out my other positional ranking tiers at the links below.
