Rays’ Catcher Future Is Bright | MLB News

The Tampa Bay Rays are finally building a catcher position that can anchor their future, with a dynamic duo at the Major League level and a pipeline of elite prospects ready to step in. Nick Fortes and new addition Liam Hicks form a formidable tandem — Hicks, a disciplined contact hitter with emerging power, is locked into team control through 2030. Meanwhile, MLB Pipeline ranks the Rays as one of only two teams with multiple catchers in the top 100 prospects: Caden Bodine (5th) and Nathan Flewelling (6th). Bodine brings elite defense and game-calling, while Flewelling, just 19, already has 21 homers and a rising bat. This isn’t just progress — it’s a blueprint for sustained success behind the plate.
