Cal Raleigh leads the 2026 catcher rankings after a record-setting 2025 season with 60 home runs and 9.1 WAR, while Alejandro Kirk and Andrew Knizner post career-best seasons. Depth remains scarce, with only eight of 101 catchers projected for positive value. In fantasy, Zebby Matthews, Andrew Vaughn, Emmet Sheehan, and Jac Caglianone emerge as high-upside picks, while Francisco Alvarez, Bryce Eldridge, Evan Carter, and Cade Cavalli offer breakout potential despite past struggles.
