5 former Phillies appear on 2023 Hall of Fame ballot

Five former Philadelphia Phillies stars appear on the 2023 Hall of Fame ballot, which was released Monday:

Jayson Werth — who played for the Phillies from 2007-2010 — is the lone newcomer on the ballot among players who donned red pinstripes. Despite playing just four seasons for the team, Werth is the all-time leader in postseason home runs for the Phillies with 11.

While he put together an excellent 15-year career, primarily with the Phillies and Washington Nationals, Werth is likely to be one-and-done on the Hall of Fame ballot. You need votes on 5% of ballots to return for a second year, and Werth probably won’t receive that.
