Tony Wolters Keeps Hitting
5 years agoColorado Rockies catcher Tony Wolters owes a gift to whoever his hitting coach was over the offseason. After years of living purely off his defensive skills, Wolters has turned it around in 2019 and actually contributed at the plate as well as behind it. Wolters smacked two more hits on Monday, raising his batting average to .286 on the year. He's also hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, and he strikes out just 15% of the time, one of the best rates in the league. He doesn't hit with much pop or run terribly fast, but many fantasy teams struggle with catchers who do worse than him. Wolters' success has even now led to the team parting ways with their all-time leader at catcher, Chris Iannetta. It's Wolters' team.
