"Keibert Ruiz is hitting .182 / .203 / .303. Traditionally a minus behind the plate with the glove, he's managed to be actually decent this year but it's very iffy looking at defensive stats at such a small time frame."
"Drew Millas is on the other hand a solid defender, or at least always has been, meaning there's a little less pressure put on his bat to perform. Unfortunately he hasn't been able to get over even a lowered bar."
"The Nats brass anticipated such a problem and made a trade in the off-season for a 'ready about now' catcher. Harry Ford has been a solid prospect in recent years."
The Nationals' catchers are currently the worst in baseball, with Keibert Ruiz hitting .182 and Drew Millas at .148. Ruiz has struggled offensively, losing power and speed, while Millas has not met expectations despite being a solid defender. Both catchers lack power and have poor batting averages. The team's management anticipated these issues and traded for Harry Ford, a promising prospect, to address the catching dilemma.
