Heading into the 2018 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers starting catching job was wide open as Austin Barnes replaced Yasmani Grandal down the stretch and in the postseason the year prior.
Barnes was not able to replicate his 2017 success during Spring Training and the first month of the season though, so by the end of April, Grandal had reclaimed his starting position.
Grandal carried the Dodgers offensively during that time, batting .315/.402/.551 with four home runs and 20 RBI. He had plenty of ups-and-downs after that, but it amounted to a pretty solid offensive season for the 30-year-old.
