The Rockies proved in 2017 that they were here to win, and we’re all looking forward to a 2018 where they will hopefully do just that. We cycled through several catchers last year: Tom Murphy, Tony Wolters, Dustin Garneau, and Ryan Hanigan. They each had their moments, but they collectively lacked the offensive ability the team would like to see. When Lucroy stepped in, he rallied those hopes, putting up some good numbers, like a .310 batting average. We still don’t know if we’ll see him back in 2018, but we do know that we can find Chris Iannetta behind the plate.
Rockies catchers need to perform at the plate, not just behind it
