The Red Sox finally had an offensive explosion today in their 17-1 win yesterday against the Baltimore Orioles, where almost all of their batters contributed. Catcher Connor Wong was one of them, going 1-3 with three RBI.
Wong had a bad 2025 season, and now that he’s warming up at one of Boston’s best hitters, their other catcher Carlos Narvaez might have to be worried about his starting spot.

So far this season, Wong has slashed a good .300/.382/.467/.849 with five doubles and RBI in 11 games played. He’s consistently putting the ball in play and getting on base, things the Sox need in their starting catcher.

Wong was much worse last season, which is the reason Narvaez has the starting job. He slashed .190/.262/.238/.500 with eight doubles and seven RBI in 63 games played.

Narvaez is the opposite of Wong. Last season, he was great. This season, not so much. This year, he’s slashing a subpar .246/.271/.333/.605 with two doubles, one home run, and two RBI in 17 games.
Just the year before, Narvaez finished slashing .241/.306/.419/.746 with 27 doubles, 15 home runs and 50 RBI in 118 games. He’s a much better power hitter than Wong, but it seems Wong’s contact is making him much more valuable at the moment.

Narvaez and Wong have a chance to prove themselves coming down this stretch. If Wong can show his power again and use it to knock in runs, he probably can keep his starting spot.
However, if he doesn’t, and Wong continues to be consistently getting on base with singles and doubles to knock in runs, he might be able to overtake Narvaez. Hopefully, both can blossom, and the Sox have two catchers and hitters they can rely on whenever they need them.
