Jacob Stallings Slated To Be Primary Catcher
Colorado Rockies catcher Jacob Stallings is expected to be given the "bulk" of the starts behind the dish. Patrick Lyons of Just BB Media noted that Drew Romo, Hunter Goodman, and Austin Nola will compete for the No. 2 role during camp. The 35-year-old enjoyed a career season during his debut campaign in Colorado last summer. Across 82 contests, the backstop held a .263/.357/.457 line and hit 17 doubles and nine home runs. However, he generated a weak .235 xBA and a .381 xSLG, which could suggest he may face some regression during the upcoming season. He also showed a strong eye at the plate with an above-average 9.8 percent walk rate. Given that Stallings will see most of the starts, he will have streaming appeal in deeper two-catcher formats playing in a favorable hitting park.
