Whut, where did this come from? .273/.365/.630 with 31 HRs, 70 R and 67 RBI in just 311 ABs?!?
He's always shown a good eye for walks, and his BABIP was perfectly in line with his BA. His HR/FB% was elevated at 25.2%, but I suppose you can make that argument for nearly every other major leaguer in 2019. Runs Scored are never a good measure of anything, but to see a catcher score that many runs in that few PAs is phenomenal and is a sign of good speed and on-base skills.
Jason Castro is gone via free agency, but they do have Willians Astudillio to take some PT, but if we saw Garver get another 125 PAs, he could remain as a Top 5 fantasy catcher. It's possible many are writing him off as a fluke, but I'm not so sure that he is.
It's too early to make any projections for '20, but what's the Pen's thoughts on Garver for next year?
