In Total Baseball there is a "FR" rating for players. This is the "number of runs saved". I did some quick research and found Jim Hegan had the highest rating...Yogi Berra scored well, too...Rick Dempsey, Roy Campanella, Mickey Cochrane, Mike Scioscia, Gary Carter and Wes Westrum were also rated well...Andy Echebarren, Carlton Fisk. Elston Howard, Andy Seminick, and Johnny Roseboro were above average...and suprisingly, Johnny Bench and Bill Dickey were only average.
It will take a little work, but if you think this will help, send me a list of catchers and I'll get their ratings. Include Negro League players' names and I'll research them, too.
A great source for Negro League greats is "The Biographical Encyclopedia of Negro League Players" by James Riley.
Hope this helps.
