The avg HOF catcher has a bWar of 52. There are 16 members. So Sal needs to double his career production, the second part starting at age 31. Unlikely to say the least.
But if he adds 3-4 more ASG and gold gloves, he’s got a solid case for sure. And that is do-able.

Reason I was asking was because of baseball references
HOF Monitor
Sal - 39, Likely HOF has 100
HOF Standards
Sal - 7, Likely HOF has 50
JAWS right now hes the 59th ranked catcher
Sal:
24.2 career WAR / 20.7 7yr-peak WAR / 22.4 JAWS
Average HOF C (out of 16):
53.6 career WAR / 34.8 7yr-peak WAR / 44.2 JAWS
But with Sal, he has a ton of hardware and if last year wasn't just an anomaly and he can somehow repeat that he has a really good shot. If he played all year like he did for those ~40 games, then he would have had around an 8 WAR. If he were to have just 2, maybe 3 seasons of 5-8 WAR then I think he's for sure getting in. Hell 5 GG, 3 SS and 6 AS isn't too shabby a start.
