My Take
Ronny Paulino is the kind of player I quietly respect: a Dominican catcher who clawed his way through four big-league clubs without ever being the headline. Catching is the loneliest, most cerebral job in baseball, managing pitchers and reading hitters while taking foul tips for a living, and he did it long enough to earn his stripes. What draws me to him now is the second act. Passing his craft to younger hitters in the Mexican League, he embodies the lifer who loves the game more than the spotlight. Unflashy, durable, and genuinely useful, he is exactly the sort of professional the sport runs on.
