During the off-season, I argued that while not earth-shakingly good, the Rockies’ catchers were fine, and in some categories in the top third of the league. With this in mind, I decided to see what Statcast had to offer in terms of catching to evaluate where the Rockies’ catchers are as compared to the rest of the league. What I found surprised me, namely that Chris Iannetta and Tony Wolters are remarkably similar when it comes to rating their pitch framing ability — and neither are particularly elite. That said, Tony Wolters has one of the best pop rates in baseball.
Where do Rockies catchers rank in Statcast’s framing and pop time?
