Scouting Report

Assets:	Powerfully-built, he has a quick bat with above-average power. Is willing to take a walk if he doesn't get his pitch. Calls a solid game behind the dish.
Flaws:	Can be all-or-nothing at the dish: takes a huge cut when he swings and strikes out too much. Has holes in his swing (and would benefit by shortening it up). Needs work on throwing runners out. Has very little speed on the bases.
Career Potential:	Inconsistent catcher with power

Player News

Iannetta goes 1-for-2 with a walk against Sox | 05/17/2013 1:43 AM

News

Chris Iannetta went 1-for-2 with a walk against the White Sox on Thursday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Iannetta is batting .202 with no power (three homers, .333 slugging) this year, but he's been getting on base plenty recently. Since May 5, Iannetta has drawn 10 walks in nine games to pump his OBP to .333. He's not a good fantasy player, and he likely won't be again playing in Angels Stadium, but Iannetta is an underrated catcher who isn't likely to lose his starting job.

Iannetta not in Friday's lineup vs. M's | 04/26/2013 6:38 PM

News

Chris Iannetta is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners.

Impact

Hank Conger will catch C.J. Wilson for the third straight time. Those in daily fantasy leagues should keep this arrangement in mind.

Chris Iannetta powers Angels past the Reds | 04/01/2013 9:05 PM

News

Chris Iannetta homered in the third and delivered a two-run single in the 13th to lead the Angels to a 3-1 win over the Reds on Monday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Iannetta did all of the damage for the Angels. His homer was one of just three hits off Johnny Cueto. His single in the 13th came after Howie Kendrick was intentionally walked and pinch-hitter Hank Conger was hit by a J.J. Hoover pitch, loading the bases. Iannetta was one of the winter's rare bargains, signing a three-year, $15.55 million deal to stay with the Angels in October. He's not a great fantasy catcher, especially with Angels Stadium holding him down, but he's a truly underrated major leaguer.

Chris Iannetta hits one over the boards | 03/07/2013 7:57 PM

News

Chris Iannetta belted a two-run homer in Thursday's win over the Padres.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He also added an RBI on a bases-loaded walk. Iannetta missed nearly three months last season with a fractured wrist, but he still offers above-average power at the catcher position.
