Photo by Cooper Neill/MLB Photos via Getty ImagesWith the 2022 regular season almost over, it is that time for us to go back and take a look at the players who appeared for the Texas Rangers this season.
Today, we look at catcher Kevin Plawecki.
This was one of the weird footnotes to the Rangers’ 2022 season.
Kevin Plawecki is a 31 year old journeyman catcher. He was a first round pick of the Mets in the 2012 draft, taken #35 overall, six picks after the Rangers selected Lewis Brinson and four picks before the Rangers selected Joey Gallo.
Plawecki has spent his career as a backup catcher, first with the Mets, then with the Cleveland Indians, and then, beginning in 2020, with the Boston Red Sox.
