Encyclopedia of Baseball Catchers - San Diego Catchers Best Offense

The 48 Padre catchers offensive stats (only while playing for San Diego) were tabulated using On-Base Percentage (OBP) plus Slugging Average (SLG) in a combined state called Production (OPS). Each year's OPS were then compared to the League Average for all catchers' OPS. A value of greater than 1.000 means BETTER THAN THE LEAGUE. A value less than 1.000 means WORSE THAN THE LEAGUE. A value of exactly 1.000 means EQUALS LEAGUE AVERAGE. The following array of catchers is presented in order of OVERALL BEST to WORST (separated into two groups: [a] Those with 3 or more years at San Diego, and [b] Those with less.
