The Philadelphia Phillies history is absurdly rich with elite-level talent at the starting pitcher position. In fact, it’s so rich that when initially sitting down to write this piece, I realized there was just no possible way a “Top 5” list could include every iconic Phillies ace.
Guys like Pete Alexander, Robin Roberts, and Jim Bunning are some of the all-time greats to ever dawn a Phillies jersey. With the organization having almost too many names to highlight, it made sense to pinpoint this list down to the 1980s and beyond.
