Phillies Fantasy Preview: Catcher J.T. Realmuto

The 2018 season was a rough one for not just the Phillies catchers, but all catchers across the league both in real life and especially in fantasy.

Aside from about the top four catchers, the rest basically produced like streamers. Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto was one of those four productive fantasy players, in fact in ESPN points leagues he was the best catcher.

In 2018 Realmuto slashed .277/.340/.484 with 21 home runs, 74 RBIs, and a handful of stolen bases.

It is hard to estimate the draft position of Realmuto because the position is so weak around him, but Realmuto should be the first or second catcher off the board in standard leagues.
