Yadier Molina has the 6th worst zBall%, worse than defensively meh catchers like Contreras and Sanchez.
You have to go back to 2013 for the last time Molina had a RAA above 10. His highest since then was 9.3 in 2016. Last year he was -0.4. This year he's currently at 0.9. These numbers still put him in good standing for catcher rankings but when compared to the best in each year its hard to consider them "elite." |
Stats don’t tell the whole story with Catchers.
The Arizona manager thought it was a big enough advantage that he felt he needed to work the umps. Cause a bench clearing incident.
