In what was a down year for the Ranger offense in 2025, the catcher production was particularly inept.
Jonah Heim and Kyle Higashioka combined to hit .225 with 22 homers and 90 RBIs. It was Higashioka who carried most of the load with a respectable .241 average and .403 slugging percentage. Heim had the worst year of his career with a .213 average and an anemic .332 slugging.
The team needs to move on from Heim and the St. Louis Cardinals might be looking to deal from their overabundance of backstops.
