2024 was the only year he’s been legitimately bad with the bat, but he only played in 72 games. Even then, he was still worth nearly 2 WAR.The Braves are probably better because they can now. Utilize the DH with actually good hitters. And not try to force meth heads. Crappy ass bat in the game.
This is such a bogus stat. A catcher has no. Control over whether a pitcher throws a hanging curve or a hanging slider. Or four straight pitches in the dirt.Team ERA by catcher 2026:
Heim: 3.41
Murphy: 3.08
2025
Baldwin: 4.58
Murphy: 4.12
2024
TDA: 3.85
Murphy: 2.85
Like, it’s not close. Murphy has been the best backstop on the pitching side of the ball since he’s gotten here.
lol. Jesus Christ, dude. Have you ever heard of game calling? Framing? Defense? They all matter.This is such a bogus stat. A catcher has no. Control over whether a pitcher throws a hanging curve or a hanging slider. Or four straight pitches in the dirt.
The teams era and overall record while Murphy was out was phenomenal.

There has never been published correlation between a catcher and a pitcher's ERA.This is a brutally ignorant statement.
And yet, from 2023-2025 Murphy has always been significantly lower than the 2nd catcher on the roster, despite catching a similar amount of games.There has never been published correlation between a catcher and a pitcher's ERA.
That is why you will see. Certain pitcher catcher combos have wild swings in ERA from year to year.
Murphy is a great game caller. Let's not forget him helping Waldrep last year. Dude is an S tier defensive catcher.Team ERA by catcher 2026:

Acuña isn’t coming back after he gets activated? For how long? Are we just going to waste a roster spot for 2 weeks?
