Viewed in the totality, Danny Jansen is a pretty good catcher. With the bat, he’s displayed good power and on-base skills. Although he’s a righty, he’s tended to perform better against right-handed pitchers. Defensively, he has a great reputation as a receiver and excels at keeping the ball in front of him. Over the past few seasons, Jansen and fellow righty Alejandro Kirk have combined to form one of the most productive catching tandems in all of baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Viewed in the context of 2024, Danny Jansen is . . . bad.
