No. 4: 2011 Roy Halladay

At number 4 we have Roy Halladay’s 2011 campaign. In his second season with the team, he carried over the momentum from his great 2010 season, and continued to be a dominant ace at the top of the Phillies rotation.

Halladay would finish 2011 with a record of 19-6, an ERA of 2.35, and 220 strikeouts equating to a K/9 of 8.47. He would also qualify to have 25 quality starts in 32 total starts in 2011. Several of his statistics were actually better than his Cy Young campaign in 2010, but he ultimately lost out to Clayton Kershaw.

Halladay opened up the NLDS with a win, going eight three-run innings against the Cardinals. He turned in an even better performance in Game Five with the series on the line, allowing just one run. However, the offense couldn’t manage a single run in what has turned out to be the Phillies’ last postseason game.
