Rockies’ catcher Elias Diaz playing like an All-Star, behind the plate and at the dish

The Rockies have never had a catcher selected for the All-Star Game. Zero for 30. Could Elias Diaz be the man to change that equation?

“I definitely feel like I’m in a good place,” he said. “In spring training we talked a lot about, ‘Don’t try to do too much, don’t overthrow, just be accurate.’ That’s what I’ve been doing. I mean, I don’t try to throw it 100 mph to second base.” Diaz is a pull hitter with power to left field. In 2021, he slashed .283/.346/.550 with 17 home runs, six doubles, one triple and 40 RBIs from June 1 through the end of the season. As a result, the Rockies signed him to a three-year, $14.5 million contract.

Diaz has become more adept at shooting singles up the middle or going with the pitch and dumping a hit into right field.
