Orioles catchers rank 3rd in AL in "caught stealing"

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Per Roch in his pre game notes. The "league average" is 29% and the 4 catchers total 33%.

Joseph and Wynns are tied at 35% (19 for 55 for Joseph, 7 for 20 for Wynns), Sisco is at 31% (13 for 42) and Susac is last at 29% (2 for 7.)

The Orioles are actually 7th in the entire MLB.

Miami (44%), LA (Angels) (41%), Washington (38%), Kansas City (36%), Milwaukee (35%), and Pittsburgh (34%) are the only ones aheas. 

If you feel better, the Yankees (26%) are below the league average.

Digging deeper, the Orioles are tied for the best in the MLB at "percentage of bunts fielded that resulted in outs" at 100%. That means if another team bunted and an Orioles catcher got to it, there was atleast 1 out.

They are also tied for 2nd best on passed balls (6 with Arizona; Cincinnati is best at 5,) but 5th worst in wild pitches. 

The Orioles are also highest in "stolen base opportunities" and are tied for most "caught stealing by catcher" and are tied with Washington for most "caught stealing second. 

So, the "catch and throw...and block" has been better than the MLB average and actually ranks in the top for nearly every defensive category.

It's that solid TTTP working out for us.
