How is this even close?
Player A:
Slashing .190/.391/.445 for an OPS of .841
Leads all catchers in BB's, OBP, OPS and is 2nd in HR's and SLG. 2nd in all of MLB in BB's.
14 HR's
37 RBI's
78 TB's
17 XBH's
1.6 WAR (One of two big league catchers pacing for a 3+ WAR)
Top 3 in virtually every single defensive catching category on Fangraphs and consistently rates out as the best pitch framer.
Player B:
Slashing .180/.269/.296
Near the top of the leaderboard for catchers in practically zero offensive categories.
5 HR's
21 RBI's
59 TB's
11 XBH's
0.0 WAR (Pacing for a 0.0 WAR)
Solid defensive catcher. Very good thrower.
Player B is leading Player A in ASG voting. Why?
