The Dodgers arguably boast the best catching tandem in all of baseball with Austin Barnes and Yasmani Grandal, though both of them were snubbed from MLB The Show 18’s top-10 rankings at their respective position.

Instead, the San Francisco Giants’ Buster Posey earns honors as the top-rated catcher with an 87 overall. A pair of American League backstops in Gary Sanchez (84) and Salvador Perez (83) complete the top three, while NL Central foes in Willson Contreras (83) and Yadier Molina (81) place No. 4 and 5, respectively.

Miami Marlins centerpiece J.T. Realmuto ranks sixth with an 80 overall rating, while a quartet of veterans in Kurt Suzuki (79), Jonathan Lucroy (79), Brian McCann (78) and Wilson Ramos (78) finish out the top-10.
