J.T. Realmuto hits first Spring home run Wednesday

Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 3-for-3 with a home run in Wednesday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The homer was his first of the Spring.

Fantasy Impact:

Realmuto batted leadoff on Wednesday, which could be a lineup that new manager Joe Girardi is experimenting with. Of course, it's also possible that Girardi was merely attempting to get his catcher as many at-bats as possible before pulling him out of the game. Regardless, Realmuto figures to bat somewhere in the top five slots of the Philadelphia offense and should once again be one of the most valuable catchers in fantasy.
