Rangers catcher Jonathan Lucroy is making it a point to work with Yu Darvish as much as possible early this spring.
Not only does Lucroy want to get on the same page with his ace, he also realizes there’s limited opportunities before Opening Day with the World Baseball Classic in play.
10 Games Jonathan Lucroy caught with Yu Darvish on the mound in 2016. Darvish had a 3.96 ERA in 61 1/3 innings pitching to Lucroy.
Lucroy is playing with Team USA. Catcher Robinson Chirinos is playing for Team Venezuela. Lucroy leaves for Miami to play in the first round of the WBC on March 1.
