Catcher: Adley Rutschman (Baltimore Orioles)

Rutschman is the premier catcher in the game today. His ability to switch-hit is immensely significant when constructing a batting order. Opposing teams will have a harder time lining up their preferred relief pitcher rotation considering Rutschman’s proclivity for hitting both left-handed and right-handed pitching. He hits for both power and average, and by the time the Olympics roll around, the Oregon native will only be 30 years of age.
