Tony Wolters and Chris Iannetta Give The Rockies A Strong Catching Tandem | Forbes
Tony Wolters and Chris Iannetta have represented a very productive catching combination for the Colorado Rockies. In terms of DRC+, Wolters and Iannetta are sitting at 103 and 100, respectively. And in Thursday’s sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks, both came up with big-time clutch hits. Wolters has seen a particular spike in offensive ability from a season ago when he had a meager batting line of .170/.292/.286.
Jack Etkin of Forbes reminds us of spring training 2016, when the Rockies claimed Wolters off waivers from the Cleveland Indians with no intentions of putting him on the major league roster.
