The Arizona Diamondbacks plan on carrying three catchers once again this season, with newcomer Carson Kelly lined up for the greatest share, writes the Athletic’s Zach Buchanan.
As catcher 1A, Kelly figures to see regular playing time for the first time in his career, even if the Dbacks employ a less consistent catching schedule than he’s used to in St. Louis. Of course, in St. Louis his playing time was “consistent” – just lacking.
When Yadier Molina is catcher 1A, there aren’t many in-game reps to go around for the rest of the catching crew.
