Updated 2023 fantasy baseball catcher rankings for roto 5x5 mixed leagues as of March 14, 2023. Use our catcher rankings, tiers and analysis to win your fantasy baseball drafts.

Draft season is upon us, and we'll be releasing updated rankings constantly! In this article below, you'll find our MLB team's updated fantasy baseball catcher rankings and tiers for 5x5 mixed roto leagues as of March 14. This is an exciting time of year for MLB and fantasy baseball fans, as the MLB season is getting closer, and a full year of fantasy baseball lies ahead. We're here to ensure you crush your drafts, win your leagues, and earn those bragging rights.

There are a handful of studs at catcher, but not everyone will have that luxury on draft day. Like tight ends in fantasy football, catchers can be a tough position to find a high number of quality options, especially in formats requiring managers to start two. We're here to help with our 2023 fantasy baseball catcher rankings. Let's see where key catchers like Adley Rutschman, MJ Melendez, Sean Murphy, Keibert Ruiz, Jonah Heim, and Mitch Garver rank, among others.

Our fantasy baseball catcher rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Ariel Cohen, Jon Anderson, JB Branson, Connelly Doan, and Ben Rosener. You can also find our other draft rankings for all league formats, continually updated throughout the preseason, in our main fantasy baseball Rankings Wizard tool. Also, make use of all our premium resources with our MLB Draft Kit. Most importantly, our brand new free mobile app is a must-have – download it and configure your notifications. We deliver all the top MLB news, injuries, and fantasy analysis 24x7 with our free push notification alerts!
