Mitch Garver 2022 Player Outlook: Could Find Success With Rangers
3 years agoCatcher Mitch Garver enjoyed a solid season at the plate for the Minnesota Twins in 2021. The veteran hit .256 with 13 home runs and a stolen base in 243 plate appearances. He also logged a 12.8% walk rate en route to registering a quality .358 on-base percentage. Garver split time behind the plate with fellow catcher Ryan Jeffers in Minnesota but was dealt to the Texas Rangers for infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa and starting pitching prospect Ronny Hernandez after the lockout ended. The 31-year-old faces similar timeshare potential in Texas with the Rangers also employing Jonah Heim and Jose Trevino. However, Garver should continue to get fairly regular playing time. According to NFBC, he currently has an ADP of 187.17 as the 10th catcher off the board in fantasy drafts. That seems about right for Garver as he'll provide some extra power and depth to a lineup in need of both. He could see a slight increase in RBI opportunities hitting after some combination of Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, and Adolis Garcia.
