With Colorado for six years, in his first run with the team, Chris Iannetta often struggled to obtain (or keep) the starting Catcher’s job but he was decent defensively and had a bit of power with two seasons of 15 Home Runs or more. He also had a respectable On Base Percentage, often averaging 100 Points more than his Batting Average.
Iannetta would have a second stint with the franchise in a back-up role, which was a testament to his ability to handle Pitchers and his still comparable defensive ability. His numbers with the Rockies saw him eke out 435 Hits and a Defensive bWAR of 2.5.
