Milwaukee Brewers’ catcher Jacob Nottingham got the most extensive look of his so-far brief big league career in 2020, appearing in 20 games with 54 plate appearances while filling in for an injured Manny Pina and ineffective Omar Narvaez. He did well enough in that time, showing the same power and swing-and-miss that has been typical of him in the upper minors while batting .188/.278/.458 with four home runs and 20 punchouts for an OPS+ of 93. He also was graded at +2 Defensive Runs Saved, +0.5 Framing Runs, and threw out two of eight attempted base stealers in 134.
