And I always wanted to catch because, you know, as a kid when you wear the gear and all that it just looks cool. I wanted that. And I always liked Salvador Perez so that’s why I wanted to catch too.”</p><p>The old saying in sports is “look good, play good,” so perhaps Diego Cartaya’s catching has helped him <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-diego-cartaya-named-one-of-mlbs-top-catching-prospects-for-2023" rel="noopener">to emerge as a future star</a>. Looking “cool” is a brutally honest admission we can all appreciate. But he added that Kansas City Royals’ star catcher Salvador Perez also inspired him to play the position.</p><p>Perez has been one of the best catchers in baseball over the past 10-years. He’s a 7-time All-Star, 5-time Gold Glove Award winner, and 4-time Silver Slugger Award winner.</p><p>Diego Cartaya has the potential to have a similar career. His glove is still coming along but the Dodgers believe in his defensive prowess. And it wouldn’t be surprising to see Cartaya become one of the better hitting catchers in baseball at some point down the road.</p><p>For now, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-freddie-freeman-will-smith-present-diego-cartaya-roadblock" rel="noopener">Los Angeles is simply looking for</a> a way to put hm on the big league roster. Will Smith and Austin Barnes currently hold down the catching position for the ball club.</p><p>Nevertheless, Cartaya’s MLB ETA is 2023 and we will likely see him play for the Dodgers at some point this year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-freddie-freeman-will-smith-present-diego-cartaya-roadblock" rel="noopener">path to the Dodgers</a> is a bit more complicated.

Cartaya is listed as the No. 2 overall catching prospect, trailing only Francisco Alvarez of the New York Mets.</p><p>MLB is currently in the process of releasing their top prospect lists for the 2023 season. They’ve already unveiled the top pitching prospects, which <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-pair-of-la-top-pitching-prospects-receiving-national-recognition" rel="noopener">included a pair of Dodgers</a>, and will reveal the top 100 overall prospects on January 26th.</p><p>Diego Cartaya has an MLB ETA of 2023. However, his path to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-freddie-freeman-will-smith-present-diego-cartaya-roadblock" rel="noopener">big leagues is currently unclear</a> with Will Smith handling catching duties for the Dodgers.

Nevertheless, there is a strong chance that Cartaya will reach the big league level at some point during the 2023 campaign.</p><p>The 21-year old catcher features a solid hit-tool along with exciting power potential. His defense has come along nicely, and Cartaya also features a strong throwing arm from behind the plate.</p><p>Los Angeles has a number of young prospects with high-ceilings. Bobby Miller and Miguel Vargas are fellow prospects expected to play roles for the Dodgers in 2023. Meanwhile, James Outman could be the team’s starting center fielder this season.</p><p>It will be intriguing to see how the Dodgers implement Diego Cartaya. But a 162-game season tends to bring plenty of uncertainty and one would imagine that a spot on the MLB roster will open up for the young catcher.</p><p>The sky’s the limit for Cartaya.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
