The Philadelphia Phillies will begin the Joe Girardi era in Miami against what should be an improved Marlins team on March 26 at 4:10 p.m. ET. Below is the third projection of what Girardi’s first lineup card as Phillies skipper will look like:

No. 1: J.T. Realmuto, Catcher

Realmuto probably isn’t the prototypical leadoff hitter because he isn’t a high on-base guy, but if Joe Giardi’s recent Spring Training lineups are any indication, he’s the favorite to hit there in Andrew McCutchen’s absence.
