Looking at all of your comments, here is my thinking.... I was trying to make a list of generational catchers since 1990.
1990s: Mike Piazza & Ivan Rodriguez 2000s: Joe Mauer 2010s: Buster Posey & Yadier Molina 2020s (so far): JT Realmuto One argument for the HOF is peak performance compared to peers. Right now Realmuto has been the best offensive catcher for 5 years. Players at other positions start to get noticed around this time, and if their peak lasts 7-10 years they generally are in strong consideration for the Hall. I do know that catchers have longevity problems. Reds have had a few who were one season wonders before getting derailed by injuries. But I'm rooting for Realmuto. His 20/20 season last year should have been the offensive story of the Phillies, but he was overshadowed by Harper playing with his elbow injury. He really helped last years WS team tremendously.
