Phillies will be hoping that the best is yet to come for Rhys Hoskins

Things haven’t always gone swimmingly for first baseman Rhys Hoskins in his young MLB career. After tearing up the minor leagues, the hard-hitting infielder took the league by storm as a rookie. En route to a fourth-place Rookie of the Year finish, Hoskins mashed 18 home runs and recorded 48 RBIs in just 50 games(!) in 2017.

Hoskins followed that up with a fairly productive campaign in his first full season. Though his .246 batting average left a lot to be desired, his 34 home runs and 96 RBIs both led the team and his 137 hits that year were also top three on the Phils.
