Silent Assassin: JT Realmuto is quietly putting together a very strong NLDS

While all the noise has been about the Big Three in Schwarber, Turner, Harper and Rob Thomson’s pitching chess moves, the one guy that has been quietly carrying the Phillies in the NLDS is JT Realmuto.

After three games in the NLDS, JT Realmuto has simply shown up and delivered. No drama or spotlight necessary. Just steady production that’s been as important as anything the Phils have done as they continue to battle back against the Dodgers.

JT Realmuto through three games:

• Game 1: 2-for-4, triple, 2 RBI
• Game 2: 1-for-4, double, run scored
• Game 3: 2-for-5, double, homer, RBI, run scored

That adds up to a .385 batting average with 5 hits, a home run, 3 RBI, and 3 runs scored in just three games. For a lineup that’s been searching for consistency, Realmuto’s bat has proven to be the one thing they can count on.

JT Realmuto is not the loudest personality, and he doesn’t grab the headlines like Harper or Schwarber, but right now, he’s the silent assassin heating up at the perfect time and one of the main reasons that the Phillies are still alive in October.
