Might the Phillies’ defense be, wait for it, good?

Might the Phillies’ defense be, wait for it, good?

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Don’t look now, but it’s probably more true than you think Remember when the team signed Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber to free agent contracts and the excitement they brought to what the offense could potentially be? Adding that duo to Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and J.T. Realmuto led to dreams of an offense that pounded baseballs into dust, striking fear into the hearts of pitching staff and pitching coordinators across the game. Then, people slowly began to realize that that duo would in fact have to actually play the other...

2024 season preview: The Phillies could have the best catcher group in baseball

The Phillies need more clutch hitting and fewer double plays from J.T. Realmuto in 2024 | Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Can J.T. Realmuto and Garrett Stubbs recover their 2022 form? When trying to find the best-case scenario for the Phillies at the catcher position, all you need to do is go back to the 2022 season when they arguably had the best tandem in the league. J.T. Realmuto was still regarded by most pundits as the best catcher in baseball, and Garrett Stubbs was viewed as a solid backup. That was not the case in 2023. Realmuto wasn’t awful, but his...

2024 season preview: The State of the Position - Catcher

Dave Nelson-USA TODAY Sports It’s the same guys again and it’s probably going to be fine. Players in camp: J.T. Realmuto, Garrett Stubbs, Rafael Marchan, Aramis Garcia, Cody Roberts Expected to make the roster: Realmuto, Stubbs The catcher position is much like the approach the Phillies took this off-season. They’re banking on continuity that’s mostly led them to back-to-back NLCS appearances. They’re banking on JT Realmuto having at least one more season where he’s one of the best catchers in baseball. They’re banking on Garrett Stubbs being the...
