Kurt Suzuki
Baseball catchers are mainly selected due to their skills, work ethic, and leadership abilities, and Kurt Suzuki possessed all three in abundance during his entire 15 seasons in Major League Baseball. He played for the Washington Nationals, the Oakland Athletics, the Minnesota Twins, and the Atlanta Braves during this period.
Suzuki had a strong defense behind the plate and incredible handling of the pitching staff. His prowess didn’t go unnoticed, though, as he earned an All-Star selection in 2014. For someone who has won the Johnny Bench Award as the country’s top college catcher, he took his career to heights he’ll be proud of.
