Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Philadelphia Phillies.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Phillies finished the year with a 96-66 record, which was good enough to win the National League East.  However, they were bounced immediately in four games in the Divisional Round by the eventual champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers.  There was one new entrant and three elevations based on the 2025 season.

As always, we present our top five, which remains unchanged.

1. Mike Schmidt
2. Robin Roberts
3. Steve Carlton
4. Ed Delahanty
5. Pete Alexander

Pitcher Zack Wheeler had a huge jump from #31 to #17.  He was an All-MLB 2 Selection last year.

Notably, another active pitcher, Aaron Nola, did not move up from last season’s #22 rank.

Bryce Harper climbed up four spots to #30.

Catcher, J.T. Realmuto, went to #43 from #48.

Celebrated slugger Kyle Schwarber makes his debut on the list, coming in at #50.  This knocked Carlos Ruiz off the Top 50.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

The modern development of baseball analytics has dramatically changed how teams view the traditional leadoff hitter. Traditionally, this role required a fast player mainly valued for slap-hitting and stealing bases. Kyle Schwarber, however, broke this outdated mold when he came to Broad Street. After establishing himself as a clutch postseason hitter with Chicago, Boston, and Washington, the robust slugger became a free agent before the 2022 season. The Phillies aimed to boost their lineup with his relentless, championship-caliber energy and signed him to a popular four-year deal. With a build resembling a middle linebacker and a swinging style focused on maximum impact, the Ohio native immediately transformed the top of the Phillies’ batting order into a powerhouse for explosive, unrestrained hitting.

Schwarber’s arrival in March 2022 provided the Phillies with a powerful, high-volume run scorer who immediately changed the team's identity. He transformed the very first inning into a nightmare for opposing starters, making a quick, structural impact in 2022 by hitting a league-leading 46 home runs and driving the franchise's exciting push to the Fall Classic.

Far from being a one-year anomaly, he continued to dominate Citizens Bank Park over the following three regular seasons. Schwarber had an exceptional run from 2022 to 2025, establishing himself as a cultural icon in the Delaware Valley by hitting an impressive 167 home runs during the regular season in red pinstripes. This four-year period is one of the most prolific in the organization's history.

His statistical profile shows that advanced metrics have outperformed traditional scouting, which often relies on superficial observations. Casual fans sometimes fixate on his low batting average, which notably hovered near the Mendoza line, including a unique 2023 season in which he hit 47 home runs while batting exactly .196, but he remains a top-tier run creator thanks to his excellent eye. He consistently frustrates pitchers by expanding the strike zone, regularly leading the National League in walks and easily surpassing a .340 on-base percentage, making him a standout performer in the league.

The structural density of his performance reached another magnificent peak during the recently concluded 2025 campaign. Serving as the primary designated hitter and team catalyst, Schwarber put on an absolute offensive clinic, smashing 38 home runs and scoring over 100 runs to guide the Phillies to their fourth consecutive postseason appearance.

Measuring his historical impact solely through regular-season stats understates his true legacy, especially when it matters most. He becomes a dominant force in October, consistently making clutch, high-pressure plays that become part of franchise legend. His extraordinary postseason power—demonstrated by an impressive collection of powerful home runs, including setting the record for most LCS home runs—has established him as a top playoff hitter of his era.

As the organization pivots with a clear focus toward the upcoming 2026 season, the stocky fan favorite enters the new summer with an exceptional localized baseline of 167 home runs and 381 RBIs across 598 games in a Philadelphia uniform.

Last year, the Phillies won their division (NL East), but lost in their first round to the New York Mets.  The season saw a few elevations and one new entrant

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes.

1. Mike Schmidt

2. Robin Roberts

5. Pete Alexander

Starting Pitcher Aaron Nola moved up one spot to #22.

Another starter, Zack Wheeler went from #38 to #31.

Bryce Harper shot up to #35 from #45.

The new entrant is Catcher J.T. Realmuto, who debuts at #48.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Modern catching positions often force managers to make a tough choice: accept a less effective batter to anchor the defense or tolerate defensive weaknesses to include a top run-producer. J.T. Realmuto breaks this trade-off. Using his exceptional, almost otherworldly athleticism behind the plate, the Oklahoma native has established himself as the leading, versatile catcher of his era.

His move to eastern Pennsylvania highlights a player's awareness of his significant market value. After a standout 2018 season with the Miami Marlins that earned him his first All-Star appearance, Realmuto made it clear to South Florida management that he would not base his future there due to their rebuilding plans. Knowing they couldn't afford to lose such a top player for nothing, Miami arranged a major trade in February 2019, sending the star catcher to a division rival on Broad Street.

From the moment he donned the red pinstripes, Realmuto demonstrated exceptional value in a scarce positional role. He transformed the area behind home plate into a virtual no-go zone for opposing runners, utilizing a blazing 1.85-second pop time—the fastest in the majors—to consistently throw out the sport’s quickest base stealers.

His remarkable consistency and high volume earned him numerous awards during his first six summers in Philadelphia, including three All-MLB selections, two Gold Glove Awards, and three Silver Sluggers, establishing his reputation as the clear "Best Catcher in Baseball.”

His workload's structural density hit a new high during the 2025 regular season. At 34, an age when most catchers experience significant decline, Realmuto delivered an exceptional iron-man performance. He led Major League Baseball by starting 132 games and playing 1,151.1 innings on cold surfaces. Despite a transitional .257/.315/384 slash line with 12 home runs and 52 RBIs, he excelled in clutch moments. In the 2025 NL Division Series against the Dodgers, he hit for the cycle over four games, achieving a remarkable .353 average and significantly boosting his team's offense.

Reakmuto has 769 hits in Philadelphia going into this season.

Pitcher, Aaron Nola, was unable to move up from #23, and remains in that spot.

The new entrants were Pitcher, Zack Wheeler and former MVP, Bryce Harper, who enter at #39 and #45 respectively.

We thank you for your continued support for our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Few modern theater arcs hold the same dramatic, high-stakes importance as Bryce Harper's. From the moment he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a 16-year-old prodigy, he has borne the weight of being baseball's chosen one. For years, he was the unquestioned, charismatic face of the Washington Nationals, highlighted by a stunning, unanimous National League MVP award in 2015. However, when free agency took him across the Eastern Seaboard to a fierce divisional rival, fate played a strange, frustrating game: Washington secured their first-ever World Series victory in the very autumn following his departure.

Instead of letting external noise control his story, Harper deliberately turned Citizens Bank Park into his personal arena, exhaustively striving to secure his elusive championship ring. During the 2019 campaign in eastern Pennsylvania, he showed a formidable power, hitting 35 home runs, driving in 114 RBIs, and posting an .882 OPS. Although seeing his former team celebrate with the trophy in October was likely very frustrating, he handled it with veteran resilience, finishing the pandemic-shortened 2020 season with an impressive .962 OPS.

Then arrived 2021, the high-velocity season the front office had envisioned when they approved his historic $330 million contract. Harper delivered an outstanding regular season, winning his second National League MVP. He hit 35 home runs and led the major leagues in slugging percentage (.615), OPS (1.044), and achieved a remarkable 179 OPS+.

Despite that historic individual baseline, baseball's harsh randomness kept the Phillies out of the postseason, leading to a pivotal, high-stakes evolution. In 2022, Harper suffered a severe UCL tear in his right elbow that completely impaired his ability to throw, yet he refused to give up his place in the lineup. Playing solely as an elite designated hitter, he propelled the underdog Phillies into the playoffs, earning the NLCS MVP award with a legendary late-inning home run that clinched the pennant against San Diego. He finally reached the World Series stage, but the fairy tale ended two victories short, leaving him with a pennant but a badly injured elbow.

After major Tommy John surgery, Harper exceeded typical recovery expectations, making an extraordinary, rapid comeback to active play midway through the 2023 season. He maintained exceptional strike zone control with a .900 OPS and delivered another memorable postseason performance. However, his long-term ability to continue playing the outfield was officially ruled out.

To insulate his reconstructed arm while maximizing his daily volume, management implemented a permanent tactical shift, moving Harper to first base full-time ahead of the 2024 calendar year. The transition was a masterclass in athletic adaptability; he picked up the nuances of the position with fluid efficiency, neutralizing opposing base runners while maintaining his thunderous presence in the cleanup slot.

Any lingering doubts about his physical durability were completely dispelled during the recently finished 2025 season. Appearing entirely healthy, Harper delivered a spectacular, comprehensive regular-season performance, earning a well-deserved spot as a starter at the Midsummer Classic and finishing sixth in the National League MVP voting. He hit 29 home runs, drove in 92 runs, and scored 90 times in 147 games, posting an efficient .278/.372/504 slash line that was a key driver for a strong Phillies team. Although the postseason ended in a frustrating and close loss in the National League Division Series, his durability demonstrated that his offensive prime is still very much in full swing.

Harper is 33 entering the 2026 season and should have some solid baseball left in him.

When Zack Wheeler signed a lucrative free-agent deal with the Philadelphia Phillies before the 2020 season, it was seen as a high-risk, high-reward move for a pitcher who had shown both brilliance and inconsistency over 126 games with the New York Mets. Since then, he has undergone a complete transformation. After arriving in Pennsylvania, the smooth-throwing right-hander systematically enhanced his game, reaching an elite, high-velocity level. He now combines an explosive four-seam fastball with a devastating sweeper and sinker. His development has been a remarkable example of modern pitching mastery.

His initial summer in Philadelphia was significantly curtailed by the global pandemic; nevertheless, Wheeler promptly established a robust foundation during the abbreviated 2020 season, pitching through 71 innings to achieve a 4-2 record and an impressive 2.92 ERA. This performance earned him his first ever Cy Young Award votes, thereby setting a strong foundation for a historic, league-wide achievement the following summer.

His peak season came in 2021, showcasing his remarkable endurance and skill. Wheeler emerged as a true workhorse, leading the National League with 213.1 innings pitched and topping all of baseball with 247 strikeouts. He posted an excellent 2.78 ERA and a low 1.008 WHIP, earning his first All-Star selection and narrowly missing out as the runner-up for the Cy Young Award in the National League.

Instead of facing a natural regression wall, Wheeler maintained remarkable, unwavering consistency throughout his rotation. In 2022, he achieved a 12-7 record with an impressive 2.82 ERA, acting as the key stabilizer that drove the underdog Phillies on an unforgettable journey to the National League pennant.

He proved his big-game mettle yet again during the 2023 campaign, posting a 13-6 record, a 3.61 ERA, and 212 strikeouts, finishing sixth in the Cy Young balloting, before authoring a brilliant October masterclass that delivered three crucial postseason victories.

Last season, he raised his own remarkable ceiling further. Wheeler crafted a stellar regular season, earning another All-Star designation and commanding opposing lineups with a 16-7 record and an impressive 2.57 ERA. He effectively neutralized baserunners, leading the major leagues with a stunning 0.955 WHIP, an exceptional efficiency that earned him his second career runner-up finish for the Cy Young Award.

As the 2026 campaign approaches, Wheeler will be turning 36. Typically, aging curves indicate that a pitcher’s peak high-velocity years might be ending, but his exceptional mechanics and strong work ethic set him apart from typical decline expectations. Having built a remarkable career in Philadelphia, he enters the new season as a leading franchise star and one of the top aces of his era.

The only elevation is Aaron Nola, who rocketed to #23 from #38.

As mentioned above, three current Phillies almost cracked the top 50, Zack Wheeler, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto.  We expect that all three will vault into the list after our post-2023 revision.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

A master of the changeup, Cole Hamels was in the hunt for an extended period of time as one of the top southpaws in Baseball.

Hamels was taken in the First Round of the 2002 Draft (17^th Overall) by Philadelphia, and he worked his way to the rotation in 2006 with a decent rookie year (9-8, 4.08 ERA).  The southpaw went to his first All-Star Game as a sophomore (15-5. 3.39 ERA) while also securing his first of four top-ten Cy Young finishes.  There was no All-Star for Hamels in 2008, but that was likely his most fulfilling season in Baseball.  Hamels had another good year, leading the Phils to the World Series, where he won both the NLCS MVP and World Series MVP.  It looked like he was destined for stardom, but perhaps it was just meant to be "very good."

The Phillies made the 2009 World Series, but Hamels struggled.  Hamels was still a solid player, but with the addition of Roy Halladay in 2010, he was no longer considered the top hurler.  He rebounded in 2011, making his second All-Star Game, and in 2012, he had his best individual campaign, with career highs in Wins (17) and Strikeouts (216).  Hamels was again an All-Star and a top-ten finish for the Cy Young.  

He had his last strong year in Baseball, earning a fourth and final All-Star year in 2016 (15-5, 200 SO), but by the following year, he was beset with shoulder problems.  He dropped to the middle tier of Pitchers over the next two seasons, and with Philadelphia dropping out of contention, he was dealt to the Texas Rangers during the 2015 Season.  After two ineffective years, he was traded to the Chicago Cubs, but his decline was in full swing.  He signed with Atlanta in 2020, but injuries held him to one Game.

Leaving Baseball after 2020, Hamels had a lifetime record of 163-122, 2,560 Strikeouts with a bWAR of 59.0.  That is good, but is he Hall of Fame worthy?

The only elevation is Starting Pitcher, Aaron Nola, who advanced one spot to #38.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Curt Simmons made his Major League debut with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1947, and after a few seasons, the hurler would show himself off as one of the best southpaws in the National League.

One of the more unheralded infielders in recent memory was Placido Polanco, a Dominican known for his time with the Philadelphia Phillies and Detroit Tigers.

Lenny Dykstra was a fan favorite, a hard-nosed baseball player whose nickname of “Nails” fit him perfectly.

You could argue that Al Orth took a workmanlike approach to the craft of Pitching as he made the most of his control and ability to change speeds effortlessly.

Gavy Cravath did not make the Majors until he was 27, where he spent 94 Games in 1908.  He did not make the best impression, and the following year he bounced around the minors, with stints with the Chicago White Sox and Washington Senators, before returning to the minors.  It would have been easy to think that this would be it for the slow-footed Rightfielder, but he found a home in Philadelphia in 1912.

The Phillies had an unlikely star in Cravath, who became one of the best power hitters of the dead-ball era.  Philadelphia played its home games in the Baker Bowl, a hitter-friendly park whose small dimensions were taken advantage of by Cravath.  He would win the National League Home Run Title six times, and while his numbers seem pedestrian today, they were an incredible accomplishment for their time.  Cravath also showed good plate discipline, twice leading the league in On Base Percentage, and he also led the NL in Slugging Percentage twice, OPS three times, and RBIs twice.  He also helped the Phillies win the National League Pennant in 1915. 

Cravath’s play fell off in 1920, but he was 39 at the time.  He retired shortly after.  He left the game with 119 Home Runs, a record for the century until it was destroyed by a player named Babe Ruth. 

Cliff Lee was known for his methodical pitching style, and it was effective.

Lee’s MLB career began with the Cleveland Indians in 2002, and he was a fixture in their rotation two years later.  The southpaw did well and had an 18-5 year in ’05, where he was fifth in Cy Young voting.  That was good, and after an injury setback in 2007, Lee was set to have the season of his life.

In 2008, Lee won the Cy Young with a sparkling 22-3 record, and he led the American League in Wins (22), ERA (2.54), and FIP (2.83).  He was traded to the Phillies during the 2009 season, and helped them win the National League Pennant, but he was traded again to Seattle in the off-season, only to be traded to Texas a few months later, where he went to the All-Star Game, though that was mostly based on his brief work in Seattle.

Lee returned to the Phillies as a Free Agent, where he had two more All-Star years.  He retired in 2014 with a healthy record of 143-91, and 1,824 Strikeouts.

Our top five remains the same, and for that matter, there is only one significant change to the Top 50.  Pitcher, Aaron Nola debuts at #45.

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

When the Philadelphia Phillies picked Aaron Michael Nola seventh overall in the 2014 draft from LSU, they invested in a polished arm. What they hadn't fully predicted was his durability and stability at the top of the rotation for over a decade. In an era of pitchers bouncing franchises, the Baton Rouge native has remained an unshakeable fixture in Pennsylvania, the only major league uniform he’s ever worn as of this writing.

His first two seasons on Broad Street were typical learning phases, but by the 2017 campaign, a noticeably confident Nola had reached an advanced stage of development. Throughout the summer, he posted a stable 12-11 record, maintained a commendable 3.54 ERA, and struck out 184 batters over 168 innings. This progression served as an ideal statistical foundation for the peak of his regular-season career the following summer.

In an impressive 2018 showcase, Nola became one of baseball's top contenders. He achieved a notable 17-6 record, received his first All-Star nomination, and narrowly placed third in the NL Cy Young Award voting. He dominated opposing lineups, striking out 224 batters over 212.2 innings, and led all senior circuit pitchers with an outstanding 10.5 bWAR.

Although his core efficiency metrics showed some regression in 2019, Nola remained a consistent workhorse, posting a 12-7 record and setting a personal single-season record by striking out 229 batters. He carried this momentum into the pandemic-affected 2020 season, in which he ranked in the middle of the rotation and finished third in the National League in strikeouts, highlighting his continued effectiveness.

After a challenging and inconsistent 2021, Nola delivered a truly remarkable campaign in 2022. His traditional stats reported an 11-13 record, which can be misleading, but advanced analysts saw him as one of the most exceptional high-leverage pitchers in the game. He ranked fourth in Cy Young voting, led all of Major League Baseball with an impressive 8.10 strikeout-to-walk ratio, ranked fourth in WHIP at 0.961, and contributed significantly to his team's success with a 6.0 bWAR.

Despite his ERA rising to 4.46 in a tough 2023 season, he still effectively used his signature knuckle-curve, ending the year with a 12-9 record and 202 strikeouts. He made an impressive comeback in the 2024 pennant race, achieving a 14-8 record with a 3.57 ERA, finishing 11th in Cy Young voting, and strengthening his big-game reputation by surpassing Robin Roberts to become the franchise's second-highest in strikeouts.

Nevertheless, the recently concluded 2025 season presented a significant and highly discouraging obstacle to his otherwise remarkable career trajectory. Burdened by a period of considerable decline, Nola was profoundly affected by a severe right ankle sprain sustained in mid-May, which incapacitated him for three arduous months. Even during periods of active pitching, his command was notably inconsistent; he struggled through a season that was uncharacteristically fraught with difficulties, resulting in an elevated 6.01 ERA and a record of 5-10 over a mere 94.1 innings pitched. This constituted a painful anomaly of low efficiency in an otherwise resilient career.

What 2026 has in store for Nola is anyone’s guess.

Evan Nolan and the Chairman (Kirk Buchner) look at the potential of no Hockey HOF Class of 2021, the new Notinhalloffame Hockey List, Dick Allen's jersey retirement by the Phillies and the passing of Kamala.
