The team has gotten a boost in their lineup lately with J.T Realmuto hitting much, much better. Prior to Saturday’s game, Realmuto had been hitting .331/.362/.441 with two home runs and 16 RBI since June 1. Squish those dates together even further and those numbers get even more impressive (.381/.381/.571 in 63 July plate appearances). He’s figured something out and has been every bit as important to the lineup as the others that have started hitting, only for less impactful reasons.
Which brings us to our question of the day: with Realmuto hitting this well, does it lessen the need the Phillies have to add a bat to the roster at the trade deadline?
