Players to Watch: Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets
Philadelphia Phillies
Bryce Harper — 1B. Harper is hitting .270 with a .384 on-base percentage and a .495 slugging mark as Philadelphia’s first baseman. His on-base skill keeps him a table-setting presence in the order even when the average dips, and he remains a threat to drive the ball into the gaps.
Kyle Schwarber — DH. The Phillies’ designated hitter has turned in 45 home runs and 95 RBIs to go with a .237 average this season. Every at-bat carries the possibility of a home run, and his power production has made him a fixture in the middle of Philadelphia’s order all year.
New York Mets
Carson Benge — RF. Benge is hitting .270 with a .333 on-base percentage and a .413 slugging mark for New York. The right fielder has provided a steady bat in the Mets’ lineup, pairing contact with enough pop to keep pitchers honest.
Juan Soto — LF. Soto has hit 25 home runs and driven in 61 runs while batting .271 this season for the Mets. The left fielder remains a middle-of-the-order presence for New York, capable of extending at-bats and delivering with runners in scoring position.
Bo Bichette — 3B. Bichette has driven in 74 runs with 16 home runs and a .263 average this season. The third baseman gives the Mets lineup length behind Soto, adding another run-producing bat New York can turn to late in games.
