J.T. Realmuto has been an unheralded star at the thinnest fantasy position this year:

Two homers AND a double last night? Sheesh, @JTRealmuto. 👀#FishWin | #LetsPlay pic.twitter.com/fKy6tvUIv5

— Miami Marlins (@Marlins) July 23, 2017

The 26-year old catcher has a .305 AVG, 10 HR, and 5 SB in 332 PA so far. He needed 545 PA to notch 11 HR last year. He’s also legitimately fast, not just catcher-fast.

Stanton pops his 30th HR:

— MLB (@MLB) July 18, 2017

It might finally be happening! The super elite Stanton season might finally be upon us!!! Stanton is just 10 homers away from his first 40 HR season and the way he’s smashing homers of late (9 in 15 July games), he could drop a 50 burger on the league. I’ll say he hits 52.

On the Agenda:

JBJ robs Judge in the triangle!! pic.twitter.com/9eDeQlmkLc

— Paul Sporer (@sporer) July 17, 2017

Jackie Bradley Jr. made a fantastic catch in the triangle to rob Aaron Judge of his 31st homer run. Judge was 1-for-9 in the doubleheader and he’s just 1-for-18 coming out of the break. Guess the Home Run Derby ruined him after all. ?

On the Agenda:

— Bally Sports West (@BallySportWest) July 15, 2017

Mike Trout has returned after a 39-game absence, collecting a hit and stolen base (which included a headfirst slide into second) to continue what has been his best season yet… which is absolutely insane.

On the Agenda:

• Potential Trade Candidates Pitch Well
• Sanchez Bounces Back
• The Knuckler is Fluttering
• Harper and Puig Double Up
• Kevin Gascan Returns

No one has a chance against Mike Foltynewicz when he’s got 97 with armside run:

Mike Foltynewicz, 97mph Fastball Movement. No one is more impressed with it than he is. 😃 pic.twitter.com/5OsIodfVom

— Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) July 7, 2017

He was fantastic against the Nats (6 IP/2 ER/5 K), running his streak to four straight gems (2.16 ERA, 26 Ks in 25 IP). Going back to the start of June adds in a 3.3 IP/8 ER dud against the same Nats team, but still only pushes his ERA to 2.98 with a 1.25 WHIP, 23% K, and 9% BB in 42.3 IP.
