The Best Catcher in Baseball is Back: JT Realmuto has been on FIRE FOR MONTHS

JT Realmuto is scorching hot again, and really, has been for months at this point. I know I have been saying over and over again that “history will not be kind to those who said JT Realmuto was washed…” but if you want actual proof of that, look no further than the numbers. They do not lie.

For a guy who’s been the heart of this team for years, this is vintage JT Realmuto. He’s hitting for average, still showing pop, still grinding at-bats, and still giving you elite defense behind the plate.

That contract made Realmuto the highest-paid catcher in baseball at the time. Now, with his deal set to expire after this season, the Phillies have a decision to make. Extend him and keep the best catcher in baseball in Philly, or risk letting him test free agency.

The Phillies desperately need to #SignJT

JT Realmuto isn’t just a catcher. He’s a leader, a tone-setter, and the guy who’s always been there when the Phillies need him most. His bat has woken up at exactly the right time, and if you believe in vibes, this feels like 2022 all over again.

The fans are already ahead of the front office on this one.

The hashtag is simple: #SIGNJT.

The guy has proven he’s still elite. The only question is whether Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies are going to step up and make sure he stays here for the long haul.
