Description
He's caught the likes of Verlander, Scherzer, Sale, Greinke, Price and Lester. His nickname is the "Titanium Catcher" because he's so tough. Alex Avila is one of the most respected players in the game. In his 13 year career, it's safe to say he's forgotten more baseball than we will ever know. In this conversation, we discuss what it's like catching a No Hitter from Justin Verlander. What's Max Scherzer like? What's Zack Greinke like? Who's the toughest pitcher he's ever caught? If he were a scout, what would he look for in a young player? This was a REALLY cool conversation with one of the smartest cats in the bigs. Enjoy!
