Phillies' biggest offseason need is obvious thanks to overlooked Bryce Harper stat

Despite playing through pain in his right wrist throughout the season, including an IL stint when said wrist got inflamed, Bryce Harper still managed to put together a fantastic 2025 season for the Philadelphia Phillies. Unless of course, you're president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski, in which case you feel as though the first baseman did not have an "elite year."

With a Gold Glove nod for his elite defense, he added 27 home runs, 75 RBIs, a .261 batting average and an .844 OPS. While his OPS was his lowest since 2016 and his 129 OPS+ was his lowest since 2019, Harper still ranked 22nd out of 145 qualified players.
