Catcher: Travis d’Arnaud vs Salvador Perez

This is going to be an interesting matchup.

d’Arnaud, when healthy, has proven he can hit, especially with some pop like he’s shown in the playoffs at times. He has also improved his defense behind the plate this year.

Perez has been an All Star this season and is one of the better catchers in the game now. He has some pop in his bat as well and calls a good game behind the plate.

While d’Arnaud has come into his own this year and looks to improve, Perez has been a proven catcher for the last several years and is still solid.

Edge: Royals

Other than God, sports are my biggest love. My teams are the Mets, Knicks, NY Giants, NY Rangers and St Johns basketball (St. John's alumni). I especially love the Mets like crazy, more than any other team and seeing them win the World Series would be a dream come true and definitely the best sports moment. The Knicks are a close second. I also like to write, so combine that with my passion for sports equals a perfect scenario, I would love to do sports writing long term. If not that, then probably sports broadcasting, cause I love to talk sports as well. In addition to writing for ESNY, I'm also currently writing for Metsmerizedonline.
