The Phillies most commonly used leadoff hitter: 2025- Trea Turner, 95 G 2024- Kyle Schwarber, 149 G 2023- Kyle Schwarber, 108 G 2022- Kyle Schwarber, 123 G 2021- Odubel Herrera, 63 G 2020- Andrew McCutchen, 52 G 2019- Andrew McCutchen, 59 G 2018- Cesar Hernandez, 144 G

The best way to make the Harper controversy go away? Locking up Kyle Schwarber ASAP. As John Middleton said in 2018, “We're going into this expecting to spend money and maybe even be a little bit stupid about it.” Let’s spend some stupid money and bring Schwarber back.
