Description: Baltimore catcher Matt Wieters has been thoroughly unimpressive in 18 lifetime at bats against Toronto starter Brandon Morrow. | Insight: Wieters (.230, 7 HR, 26 RBI) is hitting just .111 versus Morrow with five strikeouts.

Sabathia. | Insight: Wieters is batting .230 with six homers, 23 RBI and a .714 OPS this year, but has just two hits in his last 18 at-bats.

Description: Orioles catcher Matt Wieters is 6-for-11 with a pair of homers and three walks against Rays left-hander Matt Moore. | Insight: Moore (7-0, 2.44 ERA) is a tough customer, but Wieters seems to have him figured out.

Description: Orioles catcher Matt Wieters is just 1-for-11 (.091) when facing Royals veteran hurler Ervin Santana. | Insight: He's batting just .223 with a .672 OPS through 30 games. With all the catching talent throughout the league these days, Wieters is not currently playing at a starting fantasy catcher level. He's averaged 22.5 HR per season over the past two years and his career statistics are better after the All-Star break, so no need to panic just yet. Just avoid today's matchup. | | |

Description: Orioles' catcher Matt Wieters is a stunning 5-for-8 with three walks and three homers against the Rays' Wednesday starter Matt Moore. | Insight: Wieters was just 1-for-10 in the Yankees' three-game set, but opened up the series with Tampa Bay by taking Roberto Hernandez deep. Although Baltimore is averaging 4.69 runs per game, Wieters hasn't been a big participant in the scoring fun. Hopefully that will change soon. | | |

Description: Red Sox righthander Alfredo Aceves has had Matt Wieters' number throughout his career. The Orioles catcher has recorded just one hit in 12 at bats against the Boston reliever-turned starter. | Insight: That certainly doesn't bode well for Wieters. Neither does the fact that he's hitting .083 over his last four games. | | |

Description: Orioles catcher Matt Wieters had a big day to help Baltimore win its season opener Tuesday against Tampa Bay. He went 2-for-3 with a double, two-run homer and two walks. | Insight: Wieters hit .323 with a .908 OPS in 133 at-bats against lefties last season, so having a nice game against David Price isn't a major development. He'll have to improve against righties if he wants to pick up his offensive stats from the .250s, 23-homer area he has been in the last two seasons. | | |
| Cold | 10/11/2012 10:18:00 AM |
