Yan Gomes is having a pretty good year. It’s not quite the type of season he rather rudely made us expect after his 2013 and ’14 campaigns when he posted a combined 121 wRC+ with 78 total extra-base hits, sterling defense and a Silver Slugger Award. But it’s looking solid, on the numbers.
He’s a positive influence on the offense with a 109 wRC+, he’s still a good defender, and he’s shown some solid pop. Many teams would love to have him as the full-time catcher, and Gomes is splitting time with another very good backstop.
