Orioles catcher Austin Wynns is often juxtaposed, as a defense-first catcher fighting for a roster spot, against his counterpart with the sweet swing, Chance Sisco.
If broad strokes are required, that's fair, but Wynns' offensive calling card is actually what the Orioles need. The 27-year-old catcher has been honing his ability to work the count and get on base since the club made him a 10th-round draft pick in 2013, and is showing as much in his first major league spring training on the 40-man roster.
Wynns has a .429 on-base percentage this spring despite collecting just two hits in 10 at-bats, continuing a person trend that's been going on for several seasons.
