Colorado Rockies: Options to improve at catcher in 2019

Last year, Colorado Rockies catchers Chris Iannetta, Tony Wolters, Tom Murphy, and Drew Butera compiled a dismal -0.3 WAR combined. Iannetta logged the most innings, however he managed to hit only .224/.345/.385 over 360 at-bats. He also nailed only eight of 48 stolen base attempts against him for a downright miserable 14%.

As a group, Rockies catchers caught only 21% of would-be base stealers, a mark that puts them behind every other team save the Rangers and Mets. They also rated well below league average in passed balls, fielding percentage, double plays, and UZR.
