Who are the Philadelphia Phillies’ all-time offensive leaders?

The Philadelphia Phillies have been around a long time.

If (when) the 2022 season finally happens, it will be the 139th in franchise history. That’s a lot of Phillies.

Over the past century and then some, thousands of players have worn the Phillies uniform, many of whom faded into obscurity. As such, you may be surprised as to which ones are at the top of the leaderboards.

Today, we’re going to examine every offensive leaderboard Baseball-Reference has to offer…

Mike Schmidt is the Phillies franchise leader in several offensive categories

Schmidt is the Phillies’ number-one in:

bWAR by a position player: 106.9

Defensive WAR: 18.4
