The Houston Astros are entering the 2021 season with one of their most experienced catching duos in Martin Maldonado and Jason Castro in the last 10 years. Garrett Stubbs is the third catcher on the 40-man roster, and his ability to play second base and the outfield could lead to more stints in the Major Leagues this season.

The 27-year-old recently changed his diet entering his third season in MLB, as he has moved to a dairy-free and gluten-free diet. The California native is looking to fight for a 26-man roster spot, although lacking a huge bat.
