Uncover the likely 2024 MLB Wild Card Roster distributions projected from 2022 and 2023 rosters. How many pitchers and catchers typically make the cut? Find out now!
In Houston, Astros fans are not used to being in the Wild Card round of the MLB Postseason and do not understand what a typical roster distribution has been. Remember the Wild Card round has been a three-game series in 2022 and 2023 and will be in 2024.
The biggest questions are:
How many pitchers are typically on the team's Wild Card Roster?
How many teams have carried 3 catchers?
Here are 2022 and 2023 Wild Card teams and their roster distributions.
Only 3 of 16 teams carried 13 pitchers. Two carried 11.
Five of the 16 teams have had 3 catchers on the roster.
Factor this into your Wild Card roster projections.
I will say that if the Astros carry 13 pitchers on their Wild Card roster it will be because they have Verlander on the roster. I see almost no world where the Astros have no JV and 13 pitchers.
