Jacob Stallings appears to be set as the team's starter behind the dish, but Hunter Goodman has been used in much more of a utility role than as a true backup catcher. That means that it'll likely be a battle between Nola and Drew Romo to see who will open the season in that reserve role and it's hard to like his chances there. Nola didn't appear in the big leagues during the 2024 season, slashing a putrid .174/.260/.298 with five homers and 24 RBI in 191 plate appearances for the Royals at Triple-A Omaha.
