Suzuki was a strong offensive catcher from 2017 to 2020 with an .812 OPS, but he was unable to continue that trend for the Angels in 2021 with a .224/.294/.342 slash line and career-high 17.8 percent strikeout rate. However, he still re-signed with the Halos on a one-year deal for his age-38 season. Barring a significant resurgence, he should operate as the backup catcher to Max Stassi in 2022.
