Eric Haase has been bad in 2023.
Like, really bad. A year removed from an above average season at the plate, the 30-year-old backstop and sometime outfielder has seen his production crater offensively, while the return of Jake Rogers has decidedly pushed Haase into the backup role behind the plate.
In 61 games played, Haase is hitting .221/.271/.584 with an OPS+ of 64 and wRC+ of 61. Out of his 43 hits, only 11 have been for extra bases with a measly three home runs. In fact, he’s hit into more double plays (5) than he’s hit homers.
