Fantasy Impact
This performance could signal a turning point for Realmuto, who has been struggling with a modest .247 batting average this season. His power display, adding his fourth homer and third double of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers needing more consistent production from the catcher spot. Realmuto's ability to contribute across multiple categories, despite a high strikeout rate and low walk rate, keeps him relevant in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that value power-hitting catchers.
