Tyler Stephenson, the talented catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, has made significant strides in the 2024 season.
His performance at the plate and behind it has been impressive, demonstrating his dedication to improving every aspect of his game and his ability to bounce back after a difficult 2023 campaign.
Despite a lower batting average on balls in play of .282—the lowest of his career, which can be attributed to some bad luck—Stephenson's overall offensive output has been strong. His Weighted Runs Created Plus , a comprehensive measure of a player's offensive value relative to the league average, stands at 112. This indicates that he has been 12% better than the average hitter, underscoring his value to the Reds' lineup.
Adding to his offensive prowess, Stephenson has showcased elite power metrics, ranking in the 88th percentile for exit velocity with an average of 92.1 mph and in the 95th percentile for barrel percentage at 17.1%. He is also hitting the ball "hard" more more than almost anyone in baseball at 53.3% of the time. These figures indicate his ability to make hard contact consistently, further cementing his status as a formidable offensive force.
