## Resource

The Phillies’ J.T. Realmuto is hitting his stride with the new automated ball-strike system—when he challenges, he wins at a league-leading rate. But here’s the twist: he’s barely using the challenge button, even though he’s caught more innings than anyone. Even his less-experienced teammate Rafael Marchán is challenging more pitches. With Realmuto’s success rate so high, it’s puzzling why he’s not calling more strikes. Will the coaching staff push him to trust his instincts more? Given his track record, it’s a no-brainer—and fans are hoping he starts leaning into his strike-zone savvy sooner rather than later.
