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
You can find the entire list here.
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.
