Philadelphia Phillies Starting Lineup 5/17/21 Phillies Lineup
21-20, 2nd in NL East
Confirmed Conf
vs MIA
11:05 pm GMT , 5/18
The NL East was expected to be a tough division in 2019, and it was. There isn't much sense that it will be any different in 2020. One team that spent some bucks to try to take the over the division has kind of fallen flat. The Phillies grabbed their own version of who might be the best player in the game, plus added some key pieces around him. However, it didn't equal success. Timeliness of the Phillies hits was a huge problem.
Philadelphia had trouble scoring runs when they needed them most. Add to that a penchant for giving up runs at all the wrong moments, and Philly ended up four games under .500. The batting order is still very solid. The Phillies will need to pitch to compete with Atlanta and Washington, and the Mets for that matter. They have an ace, but a big contract for a veteran did not lend the expected results. Philadelphia snagged another good pitcher from within the division, so expect improvements.

Philadelphia Phillies FAQ
The Philadelphia Phillies have a loaded offense, but they will need to keep it up with the pitching staff they have. With Andrew McCutchen back and healthy, this bodes well for the top half of the lineup. Rhys Hoskins and Bryce Harper are the big power bats in the middle of the order. JT Realmuto is a free agent at the end of the year. The middle infield is strong for the Phillies as they have a few big names. Didi Gregorius comes over from New York and will be the double-play partner of Jean Segura. We should also keep an eye out for names like Scott Kingery and Roman Quinn. Jay Bruce might get the occasional start, but should be more of a rotational player.

Who Will DH For The Phillies?
With the DH moving to the National League in 2020, Jay Bruce is likely the name to get into the lineup against right-handed pitching. They also have Phil Gosselin, who is a right-handed bat off the bench who can hit against left-handers.
Where Does Bryce Harper Bat?
Bryce Harper hits third in the lineup and is one of the top hitters in the order. The Phillies offense disappointed in 2019, but the talent is there for a bounce-back year in 2020. Harper will be a big part of it.
Who Plays Centerfield For The Phillies?
Roman Quinn was a former second-round pick who didn't quite pan out. He will be the everyday starter in 2020. He is a switch hitter who doesn't offer up much on offense but does have some speed and plays strong defense.
What Is The Best Phillies Lineup Of All-Time?
The 1977 Phillies had one of the best lineups of all-time, with two players hitting over 35 home runs. Mike Schmidt was the player in the heart of the order who had 100+ RBI as well. Other notable names are Larry Bowa and Greg Luzinski.
What Is The Worst Phillies Lineup Of All-Time?
The 1942 Philadelphia Phillies won just 42 games, and this had everything to do with the offense. Only two hitters hit over .250, and there was not much power to speak of. They only averaged 2.6 runs per game.
Who Has Played The Most Games For The Phillies?
Hall of Famer, Mike Schmidt, has played 2,404 games for the Phillies. That is the most of all time, which is why he is a Phillies legend. He also has hit the most home runs in the club’s history with 548.
