When it comes to personnel decisions, the Atlanta Braves have an easy one to make with catcher Travis d'Arnaud
has been heating up when the team has needed him most. Since July 3, d’Arnaud is batting .296 with a .901 OPS, six home runs, and 15 RBI across 22 games. He’s on his best run since the end of April - more on that in a bit.Keep a Strong Catchers Duo Together
Both catchers also work with each starting pitcher pretty consistently. They don’t have to worry about any preference in how comfortable a pitcher is with one versus the other. While could be a reason to just roll with just one of the catchers next season, think of it this way. This allows manager Brian Snitker to plan the offensive matchups without compromising his starters.
