Which MLB Catchers Have 400 or More Career Home Runs?

There's only ever been one full-time* MLB catcher to collect more than 400 home runs. 

That person? 

Mike Piazza. 

With 427 career home runs, Piazza holds the record for the most career home runs by any catcher in history. 

His productive career from 1992 to 2007 set a new standard for catchers at the plate. 

Piazza was the 1993 NL Rookie of the Year with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he went on to claim 10 silver slugger awards and was named to 12 all star teams. 

In addition to the Dodgers, Piazza played for the Florida Marlins, the New York Mets, the Oakland Athletics and the San Diego Padres. 

He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016.

(* Note: Full-time is defined as a player who played 51% or more of their total defensive games in the MLB as a catcher)
