J.T. Realmuto calmly set his bat down as he began to trot around the bases after a third inning home run Saturday evening at Citizens Bank Park. There’s nothing wrong with flash – Realmuto’s teammate and good friend, Bryce Harper, is full of it – but Realmuto is more from the Matt Williams school of setting the bat down and running around the bases without a ton of emotion after he hits a home run.
And who can argue with how Realmuto carries himself? The 28-year-old was an All-Star for the second consecutive year in 2019 and he’s been scorching-hot since the All-Star Break.
