Columbus, GA – He may seem camouflaged, but that will still be J.T. Realmuto behind the plate for the Philadelphia Phillies during MLB Players’ Weekend.

 

Realmuto will bring a whole new level of stealth to the weekend set of games. In a bold and unique collaboration between Realtree® and the All-Star backstop, Realmuto will take the field in three fully customized sets of head-to-toe gear including his mask, chest protector, shin guards, belt, cleats and bats - all exclusively commissioned. 

 

 

 

An avid outdoorsman and lifelong hunter, Realmuto worked directly with Realtree and his team at CAA Sports to bring this one-of-a-kind vision to life. Fans watching from home — and runners trying to steal second — might need a second look, as the gear will showcase Realtree EXCAPE®, Realtree Original™, and Realtree MAX-7® camo patterns, over the series against the Washington Nationals.

 

“We’re honored to work with J.T. and his Marketing Agent at CAA Sports, L Davis, on this incredibly creative project,” said Michael Riggs, Business Development Manager for Realtree. “J.T.'s passion for the outdoors is the real deal, and seeing it play out behind the plate — especially with hunting season and playoff baseball both just around the corner — is something special.”

 

As Realmuto readies for the postseason, he's flipping the script — his hunting season might be cut short, but on the diamond, he’ll be hunting baserunners, framing strikes, and tracking down October glory. With Realtree camo on and eyes locked in, the plate becomes his “blind” this upcoming weekend.

 

This Players’ Weekend don’t blink — you just might miss him!
