Phillies Position Players
The Phillies catcher is also coming off a very successful first season in Philadelphia where he set career highs across the board and swept most of the catcher hardware. It’s no question he’s the best catcher in baseball, so I feel he’s a bit underrated in this game.
MLB The Show must be looking for a big rebound season from Rhys Hoskins to give him an 80 overall. Obviously his power rankings are going to push him up the leaderboard, but his defense and on-base percentage outside of walks are not fantastic. Hopefully, that rebound season comes and we see Hoskins in, at least, the high 80s next year.
I guess you can call Jean Segura the Phillies’ third baseman? After a bumpy start at his new position Segura’s defense picked up in spring training and he held his own at the hot corner. His MLB The Show Player Ratings are decent after a down season, but Segura is known to be a consistent .300 hitter in his career.
With Segura appearing to be set at third base the Phillies might finally have Scott Kingery playing his natural position. Of all the Phillies, Kingery might have the chance to see his MLB The Show Player Ratings jump after the 2020 season. Now that he doesn’t have to worry about which glove to take onto the field Kingery can focus on hitting and being a consistent .280 hitter in the six or seven hole.
I’m a little surprised to see Didi Gregorius with such low MLB The Show Player Ratings, but you have to remember that he’s coming off a down season where he missed time following Tommy John Surgery. Like Kingery, Gregorius’ MLB The Show Player Ratings should rebound during his one-year deal with the Phillies thanks to him being fully recovered and the home run-friendy confines of Citizens Bank Park.
