I’m guessing you’ve heard this rumor… that the Atlanta Braves are looking for a catcher.
Apparently it’s not just any catcher. Otherwise by now they would have re-signed somebody like A.J. Pierzynski (who isn’t ready to retire quite yet) or Jarrod Saltalamacchia or Nick Hundley or any number of several other names that we’ve bandied about.
Fangraphs had an interesting chart – and article to go with it – last week. They ranked the 30 MLB teams in terms of “Extra Strikes” over the 2012-16 seasons.
