Will Smith has become a regular on The Shredder rankings of the Top-10 Catchers Right now, checking in third for 2025. This marks his fifth consecutive year in the top three.
Despite being ranked among the top catchers, analysts had varying opinions, with Ben Lindbergh placing Smith fifth, contrasted by Brian Kenny and Alex Avila ranking him higher.
Smith's performance shows promise, leading all catchers with a 15.5 WAR since 2021, supported by a long-term $140 million contract, but he must maintain consistent production.
After a strong start in 2024, Smith's batting average dipped, finishing the season with .248/.327/.433, raising concerns about his performance in the postseason and ongoing season consistency.
