There’s no doubt in our mind, Johnny Bench is the greatest catcher of all time. In his career, all of it spent with the Reds, he had 2,048, a .267 career batting average with 389 homers, and 1,376 RBIs. He is third on the career homeruns list for catchers, and still holds the MLB record for the most grand slams by a backstop. he also earned 10 Gold Gloves, was named to the National League All-Star team 14 times, and won two MVP Awards.
