With three catchers on the Red Sox roster, only one stands out to the majority of the Boston Red Sox pitching staff. That man is swinging, slamming, Sandy Leon.
It’s been a common theme for Red Sox pitchers to give Leon high praise after each game this season. After Tuesday night’s victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, the same story was read by Rick Porcello.

In Leon’s last 31 starts, the Red Sox are 28-3.
