J.T. Realmuto, the Marlins star catcher, returned to game action two weeks ago against the Yankees and since then, he has absolutely crushed the ball. Through 56 plate appearances, Realmuto is posting a triple-slash line of .340/.400/.600 with a 178 wRC+, where 100 is set as the league average. He will enter Friday’s game with a career-high 11-game hitting streak intact.
Obviously those numbers will regress to some degree. In 2017, only 7 players posted a wRC+ of 150 or higher and Gary Sánchez led all catchers with 130 wRC+.
