Atlanta Braves Morning Chop: fetching more catching

Related Topics: Atlanta Braves, Catcher, Kurt Suzuki

In 2017, Atlanta Braves‘ catchers led all of baseball in production with a fangraphs’ WAR of 4.9 and a runs-created score of 119 (while hitting .279 to boot).

In 2018, those numbers lagged a bit as both Tyler Flowers and Kurt Suzuki were both a year older – funny how that happens – while Flowers came into the season slowly… the result of a first game injury.

Still, the tandem (combined with a few cameos from others) combined to post a 3.0 fWAR, 96 wRC+, and hit .246. Those figures were still good enough to be 6th in all of baseball.
