5/12/24 Hitter Profiles: Catching Fire. Sometimes it is easy as a fantasy baseball writer to get caught up in creative writing puns.  However, this week as we frame up our hitter profiles, this is going to be a serious column.  As we sit in mid-May, we finally have enough data to really understand what is signaling results of our favorite fantasy hitters.  This week, we dig into what once was a thin position behind the plate but has in recent years become a sneaky spot to receive value.  We are of course talking about the catcher position spanning the spectrum from aging veterans like Salvador Perez and young stars like Adley Rutschman.  As we dig into our hitter profiles this week, we are digging for the underlying signs of change that may have been masked by early season sample sizes.  There is the good, the bad and those that have crossed us up so far this season.  Let’s get to the run down in this rendition of our Hitter Profiles before the puns get away from us.
