Rutschman is the gem of the catcher class following a season in which he hit 20 homers, 80 RBI, and compiled a slash line of .277/.374/.809. If he can avoid injury, he should build on that output and justify his position at the top of the list.

He will likely be the first catcher to go, though, so if you are hoping to take a young player at the position without committing such a high pick on him, look for Alvarez and Heim later in the draft.

The latter was the All-Star starter from the AL while Alvarez blasted 25 homers in his first year behind the plate for the Mets.

Burnes arrives in Baltimore with the loftiest of expectations. The missing ingredient in the Orioles’ World Series hopes, the former Cy Young winner will hope to bring his 3.39 ERA, 200 strikeouts, and 193.2 innings pitched to an organization that was one ace away from making a legitimate run at the pennant.

Strider went 20-5 in 2023 with 281 strikeouts. He also allowed 80 earned runs, the most of his young career. His ERA increased starting in June before steadying in the 3.7-3.8 range in September. He struggled against the Phillies in the postseason, allowing three home runs on seven hits.

His K’s are valuable, no doubt, but he may also get rocked on occasion. Especially down the stretch.
