I split this article up into two things about the Pirates' minor league catchers, starting with one backstop that is showing improvements and then going into the way the Pirates have split up playing time among all their catchers.
I noticed something while looking through the Bradenton stats from this year and how it relates to Jacob Stallings and the improvements he is showing behind the plate. First the stats.
Reese McGuire has thrown out 29% of runners this season. That is down from 39% last year and 44% as a rookie.
Jin-De Jhang has thrown out 20% of runners this year, down from 32% last year and 47% in 2013.
