My Take
I love a player who earns his living with the quiet, unglamorous work, and Austin Hedges is precisely that. A catcher from San Juan Capistrano, California, he is valued for his game-calling and defense rather than gaudy hitting, and to me that is a rarer and more durable kind of value. He tasted the ultimate reward too, winning the 2023 World Series with the Rangers. The fact that he has been wanted by the Padres, Pirates, Guardians and more says everything about how teams prize his glove. Carrying the unseen burden of the position without complaint, he strikes me as deeply dependable.
