JT Realmuto is the Philadelphia Phillies starting catcher. He is arguably one of the best catchers in the league.Earlier this year he signed a 5 year $115 million contract to return to the Phillies. Last season with 11 games he had 29 at bats he hit a .310 with OBP of .412 with 9 homers and 6 RBIs.

Last month, a few days before the Phillies Camp started he fractured his right thumb. Realmuto had to block a ball in the dirt by pitcher José Alvarado causing his injury. He was put in a cast which was taken off on thursday March 4th after getting X-rays. It is now in a brace and he has started swinging a bit again and softly throwing.

If Realmuto is not healed in time, Andrew Knapp would take over behind the plate. Knapp hit .286 with a .375 OBP in 7 plate appearances last season

Realmuto is very optimistic and is set on being back for opening day on April 1st.He has a great attitude going into this and sticking with it and knowing that he is going to be okay to produce a great season for not only himself but for the whole team and the fans.
