PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia Phillies All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto is racking up the accolades this offseason. Just a week after winning a Gold Glove Award, the 28-year-old won the National League’s Silver Slugger award.
The award goes to the best offensive player at each position and is determined by major league coaches and managers.
This was Realmuto’s second straight year winning the award.
These awards do not seem to surprise many, especially those who consider him the best all-around catcher in baseball.
Another honor for the best catcher in baseball.
Congratulations to @JTRealmuto on winning the #SilverSlugger Award!
