Newly minted Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters has had a rough spring at the plate. And that is okay.
Since signing with the Nats on February 24, it has not gone well on offense. As of Friday night, the $10 million catcher is 2-for-20 without a home run or RBI. Again, nothing to worry about. Really.
Wieters signed 10 days after pitchers and catchers reported to West Palm Beach, hours before the Grapefruit League started the 2017 campaign. Learning how to work within a new league, organization and pitching staff is more important.
The key for Wieters is how he handles his new pitching buddies.
