Cincinnati Reds – Johnny Bench, C.
The moment you’ve all been waiting for… a catcher has (finally) made the list. But the difference between Bench and other MLB catchers, is that he was an extraordinary hitter and outfielder as well. Johnny lead the league in home runs two times and brought in 43 percent of attempted “basestealers” in his entire baseball career. Johnny Bench is essentially a “triple threat” in MLB.
