My Take

Wallach is a classic baseball lifer, the son of a respected big-leaguer who carved out his own MLB career the hard way, as a backup catcher who lives and dies by his defense and game-calling. That is one of the least glamorous jobs in the sport, and I have real respect for the guys who grind through the minors to do it. Catching depth wins seasons even if it never wins headlines, and pitchers tend to trust receivers like him. Carrying the family name into the same league your father starred in cannot be easy, and he handled that with quiet professionalism.

Overview

Chad Wallach (born November 4, 1991) is an American professional baseball catcher. The son of former MLB All-Star Tim Wallach, he played college baseball at California State University, Fullerton and made his Major League debut in 2017. He has appeared for teams including the Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Angels, primarily serving as a defensive-minded backup catcher.
