Wilson Ramos
Mets Catcher – Age 31
Two catchers already? Crazy!
In contrast to Grandal, Ramos is not an advantage to the Mets because of his defense, but because of his bat.
The two time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner is just one of a few Mets tearing the cover off the ball early on in the season.
Despite not hitting a homerun thus far, Ramos is sporting a solid .350/.435/.375 slash line. He has only one extra-base hit but he has scored six runs, driven in eight runs and has drawn seven total walks.
He tore apart his former team in the Nationals to open the season. In that three-game set, he went 4 for 9 with a double, three RBI and three runs scored.
Aside from protecting hitters in an order with Robinson Cano, Michael Conforto and rookie Pete Alonso, he offers a good rotation behind the dish with him and Travis d’Arnaud.
Ramos is coming off an All-Star appearance with the Rays and a playoff push finish with the Phillies. Ramos is guaranteed to be a big part of the Mets offense going forward as the Mets stay hot.
