James McCann joined the New York Mets this offseason with many hopeful he can end a long-overdue streak of poor starting catchers. Even though Wilson Ramos hit well in 2019 and we did get some occasional production out of Travis d’Arnaud for a brief time, the Mets have been without a truly productive catcher since Paul Lo Duca left the club.
McCann will look to turn it all around this year both behind the plate and with both heels dug into the batter’s box.
