The book on Wilson Ramos when he signed a two-year deal with the Mets in 2019 was simple: He’s an above-average hitter and a below-average defender. And in the first year of his contract, he somewhat lived up to those expectations, hitting for a 105 wRC+ and even achieving a league-best 26-game hitting streak towards the end of the season. He presented his greatest value with his durability, however, appearing in 141 games, the most for any Mets catcher in a season since Mike Piazza in 2001. It appeared as if the Mets had found a suitable starter for the 2020 season.
