Yanier Diaz on pace for 83 RBi. That would have to be a team record, right? Gattis had 72 in 2017 while splitting it about 50-50 at catcher and dh
Mitch Meluskey had 69. I guess it depends what defines "catcher".
John Bateman had 72 in 1966 in 131 games - 121 at catcher and 10 pinch hits. 72 playing half your games in the dome before they moved the fences in a little is like 175 in a normal stadium.
I looked up MLB positional records and to qualify for a record at a position you have to have 2/3 or more of your games played at that position, but your stats earned at other positions do count.
So it looks like 72 is the number.
