Not that it’s ok to settle for what they have, you always look to improve, but compared to other ML catchers I believe Sanchez is above average in regards to catchers wrc +. I’d be interested to see how Twins catchers combined compare Catcher production over MLB is just bad I think of bigger concern is how so many Twins hitters have dropped off in the 2nd half. Maybe having a hitting coach who last year worked in A ball wasn’t such a good idea If the big hitters were hitting nobody would notice the catchers

This article mentions Walker and his “ridiculous “ barrel rate of 15% and Contreras hard hit rate of 44.8%, not to mention his -6 DRS. For all the grief Sanchez gets his barrel % is 16.8 and hard hit % is 47.9 with a DRS of 0. In fact his statcast #s are similar to Buxton and he is among ML leaders in most hard hit categories. He may not be getting results but he hits ball hard consistently
