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.
