WHO IS Brad Ausmus?

Among catchers who started their career since 1990 and squatted behind the plate for at least 1,000 games, Ausmus ranks fifth at holding the running game in check. Only Pudge Rodriguez, Charles Johnson, Yadier Molina, and Miguel Oliva were better. Ausmus couldn’t hit much, but he was smart and good looking enough to get a few managerial jobs after his long playing career as a defensive specialist was over.
Though Ausmus was not drafted until the 48th round of the 1987 draft, he played in the major leagues longer than any of the 1,150 players drafted ahead of him, and caught more than 1,900 games.
