After a season-long struggle at the catcher position for the Washington Nationals, Matt Wieters is finally providing some production there. He’s finally starting to resemble the catcher he was for a time with the Baltimore Orioles.
Wieters has particularly turned the page in August. In the month, he’s hitting a lofty .306 with a homer, two doubles, four RBI and even walking almost as much as he’s striking out.
The ball has been flying off his bat this month, and some of the advanced metrics make it seem somewhat sustainable.
He has a hard contact percentage of 45.
