For whatever reason, Realmuto has struggled to hit at home, but that trend is turning around at just the right time.
catcher entered Tuesday night’s game hitting .204/.261/.329 at home compared to .301/.359/.586 on the road.“It’s just baseball,” he said inWhy Bryce Harper feels fortunate to be hitting for power again for the PhilliesNevertheless, Realmuto has put together a good homestand over the past few days. After going 2-for-20 over the Phillies’ homestand from Sept. 8-12, he went 6-for-16 in last week’s four-game series against the Mets. He’s hitting .296/.321/.556 over his last seven games.
The Phillies have seen an offensive boost over the last few weeks, but Realmuto contributing to that, consistently, would be a big asset. “He wasn’t even sweating [the other night],” Thomson said. “He didn’t look like he was affected by anything. Now, you never know how anyone is going to react in this atmosphere during the playoffs, but that’s with anybody.”
“You can watch all the tape, do all of that stuff, but until you get in the box and see it live… that’s why experienced clubs sometimes struggle with a guy they’ve never seen before,” Thomson said. “Some rookie comes up and he shoves for six or seven innings because it’s just different live than it is watching on tape or reading a report. So I think there’s a benefit there for him.
