For answer 2, the first name that comes to mind is Johnny Bench.

Well done, Giants (as usual), Bench caught 1002.2 innings in 1975 without a passed ball.  He was, until fairly recently, the answer to #1 as well going 224 consecutive games (from 1974-76) without a passed ball, but alas that record was broken in the last 10 years.  Ironically not by someone who is an answer for #2, as he never made 1000 innings in a a season.

The other four for #2 are harder, and I don’t think they’ve been mentioned (not Berra, Freehan, Molina, Fisk, Santiago, or Posey).

They break down as follows: two catchers did it in the 30’s.  Two catchers in the 20’s, the 2020’s (I said it was recent!)
