When the Milwaukee Brewers acquired catcher Danny Jansen from the Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline, they weren’t looking for a star; they were looking for stability. A steady glove behind the plate, some pop in the bat, and maybe, just maybe, a hot streak at the right time.

Through his last 15 games, Jansen is slashing .172/.368/.448. The OBP suggests a patient hitter with a discerning eye at the plate, but the batting average continues to drag down any momentum.
