Yeah. I consider that a pretty good job. I didn't suggest it was "great"
or AS caliber.

I'll admit that I was cherry picking a bit, as I dislike batting average
in general - mainly being ornery. His career average OPS is 785 and
OPS+ is 100 (which would make him league average), this year so far he
has 767 and 93. I'm not sure what the league average is for a catcher,
but that's probably Not Bad.


Yes, not bad.

AVG SLG OBA OPS

Tek: .227 .443 .324 .767

league average for catcher: .259 .400 .319 .720

Just batting average where Tek falls short. 47 OPS points above
average is pretty good.
