Iconic Twins catcher Joe Mauer is likely heading to Cooperstown, representing a position that traditionally has not had much Hall of Fame representation.
Great take Daniel. With regard to pitch framing - for which Mauer was rightly praised, that catcher skill will no longer be an asset once ABS is adopted in MLB. Pitch framing is all about catchers duping umpires so it's fine that it eventually will fade away. Will ABS change how much more hitting a receiver will need to do?
