The Phillies defense was one of the biggest team improvements of 2019. In 2018, the team was 29th in fielding percentage and errors committed. In 2019, the Phillies improved to 15th in errors committed and 12th in fielding percentage.
That improvement has yielded 3 Rawlings Gold Glove finalists for the Phillies.
We all knew that JT Realmuto would be here. His defense was the highlight of his first year with the Phillies. Had he not been named as a finalist, there might have been riots in South Philadelphia.
That pop time, the arm strength, that wink.
