“Obviously I have interest in coming back to the Phillies,” Realmuto said. "... I love being here. My wife loves it here, my family. Their friends are all in the organization.

J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-4 in the Phillies' 6-2 victory over the Cubs, including a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
This performance underscores his consistent ability to contribute to the Phillies' offense, especially with his 14th homer of the season. While his .267 batting average and .326 wOBA are solid, they aren't spectacular, and his relatively high strikeout rate of 24.1% remains a concern for fantasy managers. However, Realmuto's power numbers and RBI production are valuable, particularly for a catcher, making him a viable option in most fantasy formats despite the strikeouts. His ability to hit for power while maintaining a decent batting average should keep him relevant in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that value power-hitting catchers.
