Chadwick Tromp had an exceptional offensive season at Triple-A, positioning him for an increased role with the Atlanta Braves after a surprising change to their catching depth chart.
Tromp was originally signed by the Cincinnati Reds in 2013 and was further developed by the Braves after previously being designated for assignment. His consistency in the organization stems from the Braves' struggles with catcher injuries.
Despite being viewed as primarily a depth option behind Sean Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud, Tromp's performance at Triple-A and subsequent call-up following Murphy's injury highlighted his potential to exceed expectations.
By the start of the season, Tromp had limited major league experience with a below-average wRC+, but his ability to step into a significant role after Murphy's injury showcases the unpredictable nature of player contributions.
