With a monster postseason run, Bryce Harper firmly put himself on track to be an inner-circle Philadelphia Phillie before his career concludes. And he’s perhaps not the only one.
While a fractured left thumb limited Harper to just 99 regular season games in 2022, J.T. Realmuto overcame a slow start to put up the finest season of an already excellent career. So far in awards season, Realmuto has won his second career Gold Glove and his third Silver Slugger. And when the final results of National League MVP voting come out on Thursday, there’s a good chance Realmuto finishes in the top 10, quite an accomplishment for a catcher.
