Phillies: Should Andrew Knapp take over as starting catcher?

With the 2017 season already lost for the Phillies, it’s time to see more from those that haven’t had a great amount of opportunities.

One such player is catcher Andrew Knapp, who is hitting .244 with a .740 OPS in 86 at-bats. Certainly those numbers aren’t extremely impressive, but starting catcher Cameron Rupp has been undoubtedly worse.

Rupp posted solid numbers last season, hitting .252 with 16 home runs and a .750 OPS. He began this season hitting .222 in April with a single home run and 20 strikeouts in 54 at bats.
