Jack Kruger is an important piece of the Angels future

When was the last time you saw a LA Angels catcher that had it all? Someone well-rounded enough to have the solid defense paired with a strong bat and some surprise features? Maybe Mike Napoli? I’m not attempting to set out comparisons because these are two completely different players, yet the Angels haven’t had a catcher with such strong dynamics since Mike Napoli. While Napoli had his extraordinary magnitude with his bat, the young Angels catcher Jack Kruger, at the age of 23, has proven his dynamics not in a singular sense, but in every aspect of his game.
