[Archie]

no catcher has ever hit over 50

only 6 or so have ever hit over 40

this guy will fade

Want to wager o/u 52.5?

I don't want to wager but I tend to agree with Archie here since he catches most of the week. He's going to fade in August but he's already at 32 so your over has a chance. I'll take a guess he hits 47 or so.

 

[BMR Genie]

Looks like he's having a historic season.

 

[Tanko]

On pace for 67.

As Jrgum notes, catchers start to fade later in the season. To much work behind the plate takes a toll. Would love to see him get to 60 but, I also think it unlikely.

i say he reaches 55 since he is at 32 already.

he def snuck up on me. i was not aware. now at 125 total as well and turns 29 in november. wonder if he can keep this up career wise.

 

[KingKolzig]

He was C last nite. Im going to track that

 

[MinnesotaFats]

He's not going to hit 50.

But- as a catcher, does this have enough gravitas to get him an MVP?

Under 20 dingers in 85 games left?

With the heat/humidity?

Yup. Days off, breaks, slumps, better pitching late in games, etc.

It's baseball, everything grinds to a halt for batters mid August.
