00:00In today's Retro Versus, we compare Jonny Bench and Mike Piazza,

00:08two of the greatest receivers of all time.

00:11One, considered the most complete, or one or two, with Ivan Rodriguez,

00:16does not leave a short list of the best catchers of all time.

00:22Bench, and the other, Piazza, also considered a great offensive catcher.

00:28For many, the best offensive catcher in the history of the game.

00:34There are the numbers, and we put them from the offensive point of view.

00:38In the averages, certainly, it is well above Jonny Bench.

00:422.600 of average for 308 of Piazza, 3.77 of OBP, 5.45 of Slugin, 9.22 of OPS.

00:51But here the Ward seems to be revealing, and here we understand that the Ward is adjusted to reality.

00:57Because Jonny Bench's was much higher, 75.1 for 59.5 of Piazza.

01:04And it is that Bench was one of the best defensive catchers in history.

01:10Ten gold gloves.

01:12Who do you stay with?

01:14I, the truth, I have a clear answer.

01:16If you kick, not as much as Piazza, but receives the game as one of the best in history,

01:24Piazza is the complete picture.

01:27Jonny Bench would be the chosen one.
