It's been a huge postseason for Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto. He hit the first inside-the-park home run in playoff history for a catcher. He then hit a game-winning homer in extra innings in Game 1 of the World Series down in Houston. What's next for Realmuto? Another Gold Glove Award:

Realmuto previously won a Gold Glove in 2019, his first season with the Fightins. In addition to a great season at the plate, Realmuto has continued to be a great defensive catcher and rightfully takes home this award. 

I'm sure Realmuto, however, is more concerned with bringing home The Commissioner's Trophy than this. 

Here's a pic of Realmuto with the award before Game 3 of the World Series:

He stays true to that "BCIB" billing.
