When the Los Angeles Angels called up catcher Jett Bandy in 2016 it was out of desperation as Carlos Perez was not producing and veteran catcher Geovany Soto could not stay healthy. Bandy started strong hitting .276 with four homers and 17 RBI’s in his first 32 games. However, Bandy hitting tailed off in the final two months of the season as he hit just .199 with four homers and eight RBI’s.
Bandy did stand out defensively sporting a .993 fielding percentage and throwing out 19 of 48 would be base stealers which is a 40% clip.
