Realmuto won the NL Player of the Week Award after slashing .500/.542/.909 with two home runs, six RBI and six runs scored through five games, Tim Healey of the Sun-Sentinel reports.
The 26-year-old has all the tools to be an elite catcher both in real life and for fantasy purposes, and at least through the first week of the season Realmuto is delivering. Perhaps the most impressive thing about his hot start has been his plate discipline. After striking out 100 times against only 28 walks in 2016, he has a 2:1 BB:K through his first 24 plate appearances of 2017.
