MLB September Catcher Rankings
Here are some final-month rankings. I’m a little short on comments, since I’ll be hopping on a plane awfully early Monday morning. Please try not to get too bent out of shape if your star player isn’t listed where you like ... anything can happen in a month.
As always, players are ranked by position and then combined into an overall top 300 list.

Gary Sanchez got a bump in light of the Jake Cronenworth injury. The Padres didn’t immediately choose to replace Cronenworth with a third catcher, but there’s a good chance they’ll bring back either Austin Nola or Brett Sullivan in September, making it easier to stick Sanchez at DH when he’s not catching.
