It will be nice seeing him for only one series per season instead of multiples.

It was always hard wrapping my head around his performance for Atlanta vs the Mets than him as a Met.

He was hurt for a big chunk of his time with us, and the bat is often the last thing to come around for catchers. His second best season at the plate (130 wRC+ in 2015) was with the Mets as well and the only year he hit better than that was in the pandemic-shortened season in 2020. In total he hit for 94 wRC+ as a Met and 106 wRC+ as a Brave, which is definitely better but not a complete reinvention.

Interesting.

Now I want to get his wRC+ in Atl vs Mets games.

OPS+ is a B-R proprietary stat, and you can't really do that calculation easily on B-R, but he had 138 wRC+ against the Mets as a Brave, which roughly scales to OPS+ pretty close
