Realmuto previously won the Gold Glove in 2019.
The Phillies' catcher led qualified MLB catchers with a 44% caught-stealing rate this season. It's the second time he's led the majors in that category -- he also led it in 2019 when he won his first Gold Glove.
Realmuto led National League catchers with 11 Defensive Runs Saved.
He's the first Phillie to win a Gold Glove since Jimmy Rollins did so in 2012.
