Fatigue has been altered overall in 19, so I'd certainly expect that some values would be different than they are in 18. I know in the past catchers were playing too much - too many times catchers got 140+ games. Last year in MLB only 4 catchers played 130+ games. And even they didn't necessarily catch that many - the leaders for games started at catcher last year was Molina 133, Maldonado 131, Realmuto 125, and then a few guys at 113.
So the real questions to ask is, at the end of the season, how often are catchers playing? If only a couple guys are making it to 130+, then that's realistic.
Also, we don't have the "day game after night game" adjustment. We'll get that in someday, but not yet.
