Jonah Heim News
Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is in the starting lineup for the first time this year. The rookie backstop came over to the Rangers from the Oakland Athletics during the offseason in the Khris Davis trade. He appeared in 13 games last season and showed a strong eye with a BB-K of 3-3 in 38 at-bats. The 25-year-old had a rough spring and hit just .148 with a .480 OPS in 11 games. Heim is looking to get a solid hold on a big-league catching gig with top-catching prospect Sam Huff and his powerful bat waiting at the alternate training site for another MLB opportunity. Heim will be facing Brady Singer of the Kansas City Royals.
Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim was informed on Wednesday that he had made the club's opening day roster. The move likely ensures the club's top catching prospect Sam Huff will open the year at the alternate training site. Heim will share the backstop role with Jose Trevino. This spring, the rookie catcher hit .105 (2-for-19) with a double. He also struck out just once and has a history of making a lot of contact. He was acquired from the Oakland Athletics in the Khris Davis deal. Heim had a strong offensive season in the minors in 2019 while splitting the year between double-A and triple-A. He also appeared in 13 games with Oakland in 2020 but hit just .211. He has limited fantasy value at this time.
Oakland Athletics catcher Jonah Heim is batting ninth and catching Tuesday against Texas and right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson. Heims appearance will mark his Major League debut and it comes with some considerable pomp since he ranks as Oaklands No. 11 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. In 35 games at Triple-A last season, Heim slashed .358/.412/.557 with 13 extra-base hits. Manager Bob Melvin has already made it clear that Heim is likely to see the vast majority of playing time against right-handed pitching moving forward, which could give him some season-long intrigue for aggressive owners in need of offensive production out of the catcher spot.
