The Best Offense in the AL?
Yan Gomes

Gomes already rates as one of the top catchers in the game. When it comes to catchers, defense comes first, and anything given offensively is a plus. That’s what makes Gomes so special, because he balances out his Gold-Glove caliber defense with his power at the plate. Now that he knows what a full season behind the plate is like, Gomes should be primed for a breakout year, at the age most players hit their prime (27).
