Additionally, pitcher Logan Webb stands out in the rotation with a solid ERA of 5.4 and a WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) of 1.8 over his recent outings.

Phillies' Standout Performers

The Phillies are not short on talent either, with right fielder Nick Castellanos emerging as a formidable force at the plate.
