I understand Kelly is the most consistent hitter we have. And, I feel like the lineup doesn't look as good without him. That said, let Amaya catch for Shota and Ben. That's all I ask. I bet Shota's ERA with Amaya is less than 1.00, and over 5.00 with Kelly. I'm sure it's not a coincidence. I think we would've won the last Shota's game, if Amaya was the catcher. I'm not bashing Kelly. I like him a lot, but for Shota and Ben, we need Amaya to get some wins.
Amaya is also one of the better hitters with RISP. When healthy, he was an RBI machine last year, and he's still kinda doing that this year. I didn't know his xBA and xwOBA were that low, though.
