Not a definitive answer, but a quickie search took me to Luke Sewell who spent 20 seasons in the big leagues almost exclusively as a catcher. Born Jan 5, 1901, Sewell made his ML debut on June 30, 1921, right about two months older than Wander Franco is now. Sewell's brothers Tommy & Joe also played in MLB as did their cousin Rip, but none were as young as Luke.
