Marlins Trying New Batting Spot for J.T. Realmuto
7 years agoMiami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto has led off the majority of games lately but hit second on Monday and is now hitting third on Tuesday. According to manager Don Mattingly, he changed his batting order around to emphasize getting Realmuto more of a chance to drive in runs. While it may cost the catcher a few at-bats in the long run, it should give him more of a chance to capitalize on his .302 average and rack up a few more RBI. As one of the few fantasy-relevant players remaining on the Marlins, Realmuto gains a slight bump in value if this trend continues.
