Matt Wieters

2/3/16 - FG - Podhorzer

I was the most optimistic ranker of Matt Wieters, and his appearance above is precisely why. With math involved, perhaps he doesn’t come in 8th among catchers, but I’m rather confident I’ll remain the most, or one of the most, bullish. The recovery from TJ surgery dragged on longer than expected last year, but that should be over with now and he should be good to go. Even without the injury concerns, many are going to be concerned about the performance — a .155 ISO is his lowest since 2010. But, his 300+ distance was the highest of his career and the first time he even breached the 290 level. Don’t worry about the performance.

RW - Looks like he usually kills LHP but 2015 & 2014 (only 104 AB) he was better against RHP.
