Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line for more playing time
Knapp is expected to see an uptick in playing time following Roberto Perez's move from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
ANALYSIS
The Pirates will need to determine if they will go with a primary backstop or split starts between Knapp and Michael Perez while Perez is sidelined, but one thing that's certain is that both are expected to see a sizable uptick in playing time. Knapp is only hitting .160 through 25 at-bats, however, so he's not exactly a trusted offensive contributor at the moment.

2016
2015
Knapp made the most of his limited chances in 2020, hitting .278/.404/.444 in 89 plate appearances, quite a change from the .204/.305/.319 line he managed over the previous two seasons. He did seemingly benefit from a .346 BABIP en route to that strong line, though Statcast expressed very little skepticism, giving him a .265 xBA. He made significant strides in his plate discipline, improving his walk rate from 11.3% to 16.9% while cutting his strikeout rate from 31.9% to 21.3%. Small-sample caveats certainly apply here, and the idea that a career backup catcher suddenly took major steps forward in his talent level in his age-28 season seems unlikely, but it was quite an encouraging year nonetheless. The Phillies brought back J.T. Realmuto on a long-term contract, so Knapp will reprise his 2020 role going forward.
