The Milwaukee Brewers’ Omar Narvaez is having a fantastic season. He is batting.285/.370/.447 with 11 home runs and 43 RBI as a first-time All-Star this season.
Many fans did not expect Narvaez to produce like this this early in the season. After all, he only hit .176/.294/.269 last season with two home runs and 10 RBI.
However, many hitters had a bad year in 2020, and Narvaez has proven to be one of the most consistent hitters in baseball.
He used to enrage supporters, but now he’s a fan favorite. That said, the Brewers and their supporters will have to say “goodbye” to their All-Star catcher at some point in the near future.
The Milwaukee Brewers’ primary catcher in 2019 was All-Star catcher Yasmani Grandal. He inked a four-year, $73 million deal with the Chicago White Sox after hitting.246/.380/.468 with 28 home runs and 77 RBI.
The Brewers traded prospect Adam Hill to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Omar Narvaez. Narvaez had high expectations at the time of the move.
