I just chose a random year (1906) to compare Bresnahan to his peers in the National League (these are the starting catchers of 1906).
AVG. GAMES FLD/PCT.
Boston--Needham .189 (83 games) .945
Brooklyn--Bergen .159 (103 games) .977
Chicago--Kling .312 (107 games) .982
Cincinnati--Schlei .245 (116 games) .961
New York--Bresnahan .281 (124 games) .974
Philadelphia--Dooin .245 (113 games) .948
Pittsburgh--Gibson .178 (81 games) .971
St. Louis--Grady .250 (97 games) .983

Note: this was the best year Kling ever had (I chose a year Bres was close to his carerer avg (.279)
