There are many ways to attack this, but let’s just do this. Here is a list of the top-30 catchers from our preseason rankings.

*NOTE: Each month, on the first, we will release updated rankings for all the positions. The rankings are for the Rest of the Way (ROTW). We will leave up the old rankings so you can follow the evolution of the position over the course of the 2015 campaign.

Here are the top-30 based on preseason rankings.
