Who is everybody using at catcher?
-
Don't hate but I still use 89 Napoli for Catcher. That card just rakes for me tbh
-
I was exclusively using captain JT. Then I finished CQ and started using Posada. Then switched to Salvy (who is awesome). Recently I’ve been trying Adley with Jeters tier 3 boost. Honestly I think I like JT the best. Just wish his numbers were a lil better.

Call my crazy but I’m close to having Bench parallel 5 and he’s been great for me.
Obviously a little biased but it feels nice to be able to use him and have success with him this year given his swing type held him back in previous years
Idk if his swing is different or what but Johnny rakes this year
Bench actually has a great swing this year. He can turn on up and in and has lots of power to the alleys.
Agree, it’s crazy the pop he has to right-center. Even more satisfying when your opponent thinks it’ll be easy to jam you using Bench, then you turn on something for a no doubter to LF.
Can’t wait for his 99/99s?

WBC Salvy

Konsuke Kondoh. its not even close.
-
For once, i can actually hit with Bench. Kinda want that posada though.

Been using Kensuke since I unlocked him on God Squad. I have had a hard time finding good RHB batters I hit well with in outfield so have Biggio leading off and playing corner outfield. Biggo would be my number 2 catcher option for sure though. Mauer always plays above his stats and I did well in ranked with his lower tier cards last year coupled with the lack of good lefty pitchers he would be my third option but Kensuke destroys baseballs so wouldn't take him out of lineup for any reason.

Another thing I have noticed is that the 92 Mays can turn on inside pitches this year also. So a 99 Mays and a 99 Bench will be beyond awesome.

The only really open position imo so thought this would be an interesting question. So who y’all using?
Harry Ford has been pretty awesome for me - as well as the Kondoh guy
-
Gary Carter. Strange swing but if he gets hold of the ball it's in low orbit.
-
WBC JT.
Realmuto cards always play well for me and this one has been no different. Will buy Posada (whose cards I always love as well) eventually but not until I P5 JT.

I have the same problem. Have you tried Witt and Rickey?

Defense looks amazing. Might have to try him

He does OK at 1b as well.

99 Posada, sometimes 99 Realmuto, but I love 99 Gary Carter-he's my favorite player of all-time

The best catcher every year is the CAP
-
I had WBC Ford in my most recent RS lineup been using Biggio back there when I grind Charisma program... but when I get Future Stars Alvarez it'll be touch to get him out of my lineup as long as he's eligible.
-
I’ll echo the sentiments about Bench’s new swing. I’ve always tried to use him because I’m a big Johnny bench fan, but I’ve never been able to hit with his card. I used him to grind out some PXP for the reds TA and I’ve stuck with him for a couple weeks now. I can’t imagine what a 99 Bench is going to look like.

Mitch garver solid for me. Thinking about buying this endy Rodriguez though. Looks like a solid switch hitting catcher
