Boston Red Sox 2019 Report Cards: Catcher Sandy Leon

The Boston Red Sox acquired catcher Sandy Leon in 2015 from the Washington Nationals. On September 1 of that season, Leon got his first call up with the Red Sox.

In June of 2016, he got called up again, and following this he went on a total tear offensively, slashing .435/.473/.725 in his first 23 games back in the majors. It appeared the Red Sox may have found a diamond in the rough. He came back down to earth offensively and became what most expected him to be, a defense first catcher with a pretty weak bat.
