Andrew Knapp Homers In First Start Of Season
4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies catcher Andrew Knapp went 2-for-3 with a home run in his first start of the 2021 season. Knapp's afternoon could entertain any Statcast enthusiast as he blasted a no-doubt home run 111.6 MPH of the bat, according to ESPN. Later in the game, however, Knapp picked up an infield single that was only 55.3 MPH off the bat. That's baseball. As interesting of a day as Knapp had, he has little value in fantasy as J.T. Realmuto's backup. Knapp is a defense-first, switch-hitting catcher which is extremely valuable to a Big League team. His career .687 OPS makes him less valuable in fantasy. On days he's in the lineup Knapp can be a decent punt-play at catcher in DFS.
