It was another day at the ballpark for the Miami Marlins catcher JT Realmuto. Dubbed “the most athletic catcher in baseball” by broadcast team Rich Waltz and Todd Hollandsworth, they’re probably right. Behind the plate and in the batters box, there isn’t much he can’t do.
Realmuto continues to improve, leading many to wonder just how high his ceiling might be. By now, Miami Marlins fans have become accustomed to watching the Midwest City, Oklahoma high school legend make the extraordinary look routine from behind the plate.
His offensive prowess was on full display on Thursday as well, prompting some inflammatory, albeit substantive comments from Sun-Sentinel columnist David Hyde.
