Remember when Travis d’Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki were the top two catchers for the New York Mets? It seems like years ago. Actually, the only season in which d’Arnaud and Plawecki were the top two catchers based on innings caught was 2015.
Trivia question: Name the top two catchers for the Mets in 2013 (d’Arnaud’s first year on the Mets), 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Coming into the 2019 season one of the biggest questions for the Mets was at the catcher position. There were lots of options, most of them tried and mediocre.
