Washington Nationals: Who Is Catching Opening Day?
By Frank Ellis
Derek Norris
The newest returning National, Derek Norris, would have been a much bigger acquisition if he didn’t strikeout on 30 percent of his trips to the plate last year.
His batting average also dropped nearly 70 points from 2015 to 2016. After the bad news, If you look past his abysmal 2016, you’d find that Norris is a former All-Star and historically he crushes left handed pitching.
If 2016 was just a off year, and he reverts back to his former self, Norris will truly help the Nats fill the void left behind by Ramos.
