MIAMI — J.T. Realmuto has rare speed for a catcher, and he showcased it Tuesday night.
Realmuto hit two home runs, including an inside-the-parker, to help lead the Miami Marlins to a 6-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
"That just speaks to who J.T. is," Marlins manager Dan Jennings said. "...That's a thing of beauty. Very few catchers possess that type of speed and athleticism to be able to run off an inside-the-parker. A big night for him."
It was the first time since May 31, 1980 that a catcher had a multihomer game that included an inside-the-parker — Montreal's Gary Carter accomplished the feat at St.
