When Drew Millas was recalled to the big league club after Keibert Ruiz was placed on the IL after taking a foul ball to the head, it was perhaps a blessing in disguise for the Nationals to assess the future of the catcher position. The combination of Ruiz and Riley Adams has been the worst catching room in baseball, putting up the -1.6 fWAR, the worst of any team and on a historically bad pace.
Millas, while not tearing the cover off the ball in Triple A, posting a 78 wRC+, is at least a fresh face who also is a much better defender behind the dish than Ruiz or Adams.
