John Schneider has some serious praises for catcher Alejandro Kirk

«I think he's in a good rhythm,» said manager John Schneider. «His exchange in getting rid of the ball has been really, really good and his throws have been really, really accurate. So it's a pretty good recipe.»

«It's been great to see him take this opportunity and run with it and keep himself ready to go,» Schneider said. «And I think there's still progress to be made for him. It's a tough ask at that position for anyone, and he'll have to keep working in the off-season and be ready to do that from the get-go next year. But since we've since we've traded Jano, he's been arguably one of the better defensive catchers in baseball. He just did a great job of seizing the opportunity.»
