Hunter Goodman, Drake Baldwin top early 2027 catcher rankings

Hunter Goodman of the Colorado Rockies tops the early 2027 fantasy baseball rankings for catchers, followed closely by Drake Baldwin of the Atlanta Braves. Goodman built on a strong performance with back-to-back 30 and 40 home run seasons, though his strikeout rate has crept above 30 percent. Baldwin is noted for his hitting ability, rebounding despite an oblique strain that affected him midseason. Other catchers recognized in the rankings include Shea Langeliers, William Contreras, and Dillon Dingler, who are also seen as valuable options moving into the 2027 season.
