Connor Wong Is Already One Of The Best Catchers In Baseball

If, at anytime within the past three years, you had told me that the Red Sox would have a catcher who was actually really good at throwing out baserunners, I would have laughed in your face. To be fair, Christian Vazquez was capable of having a pretty good year in that department, but he would then apparently forget how to throw a ball the next, swinging between positive and negative defensive run values. Connor Wong hasn't even had a full season yet, but so far he looks great on the defensive end and all we can hope for is consistency. Wong ranks fourth in Major League Baseball in catcher pop time, Caught Stealing Above Average, and Catcher Stealing Runs (translation of CSAA in run value).
