4- Cole Hamels (2006 – 2015)

Hamels was instrumental throughout the 2008 post season, earning NLCS and World Series MVP honors. Although never a league leader in any categories while with the Phillies, Hamels was extremely solid. He was a three-time All-Star, threw 200 or more innings six times and struck out over 200 three times. His 114 victories is sixth in franchise history and his 1844 strikeouts ranks third.

3- Grover Cleveland Alexander (1911 – 1917)

Alexander pitched in the “dead ball era” where pitchers logged more innings and ERA’s in general were quite low. However, it’s hard to overlook what he accomplished. He lead the league in wins five times with the Phillies, including three consecutive of 30 or more.

Alexander had three consecutive seasons with an ERA under two and hurled 300 or more innings in all seven seasons with the Phillies. He is fourth on the franchise victory list with 190.
