Why Gabriel Moreno’s #6 Spot on MLB Now’s Catcher Rankings Is Turning Heads Across the League

Tonight’s MLB Now countdown for the Top 10 Catchers Right Now has dropped, and let me tell you—the rankings stirred up quite the buzz. Hosted by Brian Kenny alongside MLB Network’s keen eye, Alex Avila, the list showcases today’s best behind the plate, and guess what? Arizona Diamondbacks’ Gabriel Moreno climbed up to sixth, a notch higher than last year. Pretty impressive considering this marks his third consecutive year on the list, after breaking in at tenth place just last season. This lineup isn’t thrown together on a whim—the 16th annual ranking dives deep into player performances across seasons, blending traditional stats with cutting-edge Statcast analytics, all backed by the scrupulous work of the MLB Network’s research team. Stay tuned, too—tomorrow’s countdown highlights right fielders, with Corbin Carroll likely making a splash. Here’s the full rundown of the top catchers to get your gears turning. LEARN MORE

Earlier tonight, MLB Now’s Top 10 Catchers Right Now countdown was announced, hosted by Brian Kenny with MLB Network analyst Alex Avila. The Diamondbacks had Gabriel Moreno ranked sixth on the list. That’s up one place from last year, and marks his third year in a row being ranked, having come tenth in 2024.

The offseason rankings will continue tomorrow, February 3 as Kenny and Chris Young count down MLB Now’s Top 10 Right Fielders Right Now at 7 p.m. ET. I’m pretty sure I’ll be back with another entry then, because Corbin Carroll will certainly be listed high in that category.
