Who will lead the Phillies in hitting next season?

As a team, the Phillies hit .240 in 2021, good for ninth place in the National League.

That’s not particularly inspiring. However, the Phillies did have two qualifying hitters finish in the top 15 in the league in batting average: Bryce Harper (.309) and Jean Segura (.290). It was the first time the Phillies have done that since Placido Polanco (.298) and Jayson Werth (.296) finished twelfth and fourteenth in 2010.

The Phillies were also one of only two NL teams to have two qualifying players hit .290 or better (the Braves were the other team, thanks to the bats of Freddie Freeman and Austin Riley).
