The Diamondbacks’ catcher situation has changed significantly since my Catchers Update written in August of 2022.
Nine Catchers With Possibilities.
Gabriel Moreno. First, let’s look at his catcher skills.
- 7 runs above average defending against stolen bases (through 17 August per Baseball Savant). He caught 11 runners out of 18 attempts to steal second base. His pop-time is at the 83 rd percentile in the Majors. Building on his excellent pop-time is that data shows one of his strengths is throw accuracy. Overall, his awesome skill adds excitement to watching the Diamondbacks play games.
