Espinal's Ks can still be a little frustrating, but he's done a heck of a job this year and been the most valuable player in the lineup alongside Vastine. He really should have been the primary catcher all of last year, too, as he outproduced Bulger at the plate last year, too, and is night and day better as a defender. The homers this weekend got me trying to remember Vanderbilt's last catcher who was better, and I can't think of one. I didn't follow the baseball team as closely 10+ years ago as I do now, so maybe there was one before that? Since then, Keegan was a better hitter but average at best behind the plate, and I could see an argument that Rodriguez was a better fielder, but he didn't have much of a bat.
Espinal the best VU catcher since?
