Philadelphia Phillies have a player behind the plate who is considered one of the best at his position and in all of Major League Baseball and that is JT Realmuto. His performance in each season is so brilliant that today there is no catcher who comes close to him in terms of numbers.
However, this time, the catcher did not make history with his bat , nor with his glove, but he has done it with his speed; all this after cheating his twentieth base in the current regular season in the National League.
In this way, the American became the second catcher in the history of this sport to achieve the 20/25. That is, steal 20 bases and cover all four pads in the same number of opportunities. The first to achieve it was none other than the Puerto Rican Iván Rodríguez in 1999.
Furthermore, said number of stolen bases also meant further lengthening his new cap in this line for him, because the first was 13 last season and before that; he had swindled a dozen pads in the 2016.
In this way, Realmuto joined a Hall of Fame in a line that is usually very difficult for a receiver to carry out. Likewise, in the absence of seven commitments, the American has five remaining to match the 25 achieved by “Puge” Rodríguez in said campaign.
Finally, the receiver of the Philadelphia Phillies demonstrated once again that he is one of the most complete in his position and that he can do anything in order to help his team win a quota in the postseason.
