While the Phillies have an established starting catcher in J.T. Realmuto, Andrew Knapp is not a standout option as a backup. So far this year Knapp has just one hit and two walks in 14 plate appearances, striking out seven times. He has barely played this season, although that should change soon given the team is amid 17 straight games without a day off.
Knapp wasn’t great last year either, posting a .198/.294/.316 line with a 68 wRC+ in 84 games. Plus, his defense wasn’t good either, ranking 102nd out of 117 catchers in fielding runs above average.
