Best Answer

Joe Mauer of the 2009 Minnesota Twins set the record for highest batting average by a catcher with .365.

He broke the record held jointly by Bill Dickey of the 1936 New York Yankees and Mike Piazza of the 1997 Los Angeles Dodgers at .362.

Joe Mauer broke another Joe's record. Joe Torre batted .363 in 1971 enroute to winning the M.V.P. Not Mike Piazza's .362.
