Catchers are generally afforded a longer offensive leash than most other position players due to their added responsibility of managing a pitching staff. In saying that, it was expected that Blue Jays rookie Danny Jansen would be contributing more consistently with the lumber than he has thus far.
Jansen is hitting below the Mendoza Line at a .184 clip with just three homers while striking out 46 times in 179 at-bats this season. The backstop is also hitting just .148 versus right-handed pitching in 122 at-bats.
