Austin Wynns

Wynn's .255/.287/.382 line in 42 games was the best in a group of bad backstop options in Baltimore last season, which should at least position him well in the battle for playing time this spring. Every catcher with decent playing time is worth some consideration, though there's little reason to think his bat will significantly improve going forward, as he posted just a 78 wRC+ as a 27-year-old in Triple-A last year. Wynn's best fit long-term is certainly as a backup, as he can avoid hurting his team too much both at and behind the plate. While he may be the Orioles' best option to begin the season, the team would likely prefer Chance Sisco to eventually take over the role, as Sisco projected as at least an average starter as a prospect.
