Catching: A

We didn't get to see d'Arnaud behind the plate as much, as Sean Murphy split time with him. When he was behind the plate, he did a good job calling games for younger pitchers and had a 13% caught stealing rate. He made only five errors in 530 innings.

Batting: C

It was a rough year for d'Arnaud in the batter's box. He finished the season with a .225 batting average during the regular season and then he went 1-for-7 (.143) in the NLDS against the Phillies. Here's to hoping for a better year in 2024.

Travis d'Arnaud's contract status

Travis d'Arnaud signed a one-year, $8M deal with the Braves with a club option for 2025. There's been speculation from outside the organization that TDA might be available via trade, but all indications are that Atlanta values his clubhouse presence, game-planning, and veteran leadership and would rather keep him.
