JT Realmuto HOF'er?

[todeen]

Article stating that Statcast ranks Realmuto as the best skills catcher in MLB. He has the best transfer time, second fastest throw, and is third in caught stealing percentage. He leads in put outs since 2016, 118 vs 81 for second place Martin Maldonado.

Which by the way, JT Realmuto does not have a RC shield on his card. He was only released in Topps Update and High Series Heritage in 2015. But in 2014, Donruss had a RC card shield for him.

I don't follow your point? If his RC is in 2014 you wouldn't expect his 2015 cards to be designated RCs?

I believe Topps marks rookies only considering other Topps cards and nobody else; they don’t care if Panini or Upper Deck or whoever makes a card first. Thus, it’s an error.

I thought MLB determined the criteria for the RC logo. What Topps cards are designated RC where another manufacturer printed one with an RC logo in an earlier year? I can't think of any player with cards from different years both with the logo. Or are you saying only Topps is allowed to use an official logo?

No. I said that when Topps applies the logo, meeting the MLB rules that it comes after a players first game, they apply it to the players first year Topps cards. I don’t think they track if a player appeared in Panini or Upper Deck Goodwin or whatever first. Thus, the poster is highlighting the oddity. That’s it.

So the Donruss 2014 logo does not meet the criteria? OHHHH, I see now, it's not an official logo on the Donruss. LOL. They just made up their own. OK I think I see the issue now.

In my defense, Tim's post was not a model of clarity.

Editing since it was edited and isn’t relevant now.
