Kurt Suzuki started this season off terribly for the LA Angels.

In his first 31 games of the year, he hit .205/.276/.273, with a total of five RBI and four extra base hits (one home run). It was shocking to see, in the sense that Suzuki was once an All-Star (2014), and once a solid contributor to a World Series championship (2019).

With Max Stassi battling some injuries this year, Suzuki had to play a lot early in this season, solidifying the catcher position as one of the weaknesses on our roster.
