Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T Realmuto launched a massive home run to win Game 1 of the World Series that no player had a chance of getting a glove on.
The Phillies star slugged the massive go-ahead blast in the 10th inning on Friday night, giving Philadelphia a 6-5 lead over the Houston Astros. Houston was unable to tie the game up in the bottom of the extra inning. Astros star Kyle Tucker, who hit two home runs himself earlier in the game, made a play on the ball at the wall, but it crept just over his glove on the way out of the park.
The homer capped a stunning comeback for the Phillies, who had been down 5-0.

“He is the absolute best catcher in baseball. His performance is elite. That’s a given. But what he doesn’t get enough credit for is the volume of what he does. He does it all. He is the rock for every pitcher on this staff,” pitching coach Caleb Cotham said after the game.
