If you want the best baseball players ever who grew up in the local area, we already have you covered here This list is for the guys who started their careers as members of the Phillies Unfortunately, that leaves a lot of guys off the list. Steve Carlton is a legend, but he did not start his career in Philly. Bryce Harper is one of the best hitters we have ever seen. But he signed here as a free agent. The same goes for guys like Zack Wheeler, Cliff Lee If you want a list of the best Phillies who came here via free agency or trade Related: The All-Time Roster Of Phillies Players Acquired In Free Agency a few positions that exposed just how bad the Phillies have been at acquiring amateur talent in their history But there are some truly great players who got their start here So who is the best left fielder to come up through the Phillies system We picked the best players from each position This was tough between Darren Daulton and Carlos Ruiz but Ruiz was better behind the plate and accomplished more in his time here There are a few catchers better at the plate than him but none can touch what he accomplished behind it he was part of the greatest commercial ever Over a 5-year period few players were more terrifying at the plate than him So his career numbers look less impressive than they should But Howard is one of the best hitters in Phillies history and who by the end of his career played more at 1st than anywhere else And I think I'd pick Howard over him even if he did play 1st here just for the sheer impact of Howard’s prime years.  The Infield is going to be way too obvious for these choices It is debatable if Utley is the best player of the bunch from those late 2000s Phillies teams But Utley is far and away the best second basemen in Phillies history The next guy down would probably be Juan Samuel But he doesn’t come close to touching what Utley did Utley had a pretty good debut in the Hall of Fame vote this year It gives him a decent chance to be the one member from that 2008 team to get into the Hall of Fame People who look at spreadsheets instead of baseball games are going to keep him out of the Hall of Fame Jimmy Rollins is one of the greatest Phillies players ever arguably the 2nd best shortstop of his era behind Derek Jeter and among the most fun players to watch on a baseball field Jimmy Rollins was a damn good baseball player who gets overlooked for some reason Mike Schmidt is not just the greatest Phillies player ever and the MVP of the Phillies first ever World Series There are other great Phillies 3rd Basemen Both were tremendous players for the Phillies even if the teams they were on weren't so great at times But neither comes close to touching the greatness of Schmidt another position where there is some competition I find it hard to put Del Ennis on here when not even my father got to see him play at least when there are more modern players who are just as good of options and there are plenty of people I can talk to who watched Luzinski play It might be understated just how good he was for them in the 70s He was a bit past his prime by the time they won the World Series But he finished 2nd in the MVP race in 1977 and won’t argue with anyone who puts him here instead Centerfield was another one without much debate They have one homegrown Center Fielder in the Hall Of Fame But he is a .300 career hitter who got on base nearly 40% of the time There is also the fact the Phillies dont have very many other homegrown centerfielders who rose to greatness You'd have to go back to the 1800s to find another name even worthy of mentioning The history of homegrown right fielders for the Phillies is as bleak as centerfield was All the notable right-fielders you can think of from recent history started somewhere else There is not even much footage of his playing days But he won a triple crown and hit over 300 career HRs He is also in the Hall of Fame and hit over .300 with over 300 HRs Kleinm is also one of a few players to hit 4 HRs in one game It just feels disappointing to include someone on the list pretty much no one reading this will have seen play But he was the obvious choice here given the next best option was from the 1800s Leaving Robin Roberts and Ferguson Jenkins the only homegrown pitchers from the Phillies to make the Hall of Fame But Jenkins only pitched two seasons here.  So Robin Roberts was the obvious choice to be the Ace of this staff Pitching with Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee makes us forget how amazing Cole Hamels actually was the Phillies would not have won their second World Series and should arguably be held up there with Jimmy Rollins Mostly because the current team has little in the way of homegrown talent Everyone except Nola is way too early in their career to be worthy of a place on this list Nola is one of two homegrown All-Stars in the past decade But he is still easily among the best pitchers drafted by the team I'd have to go back to the 1800s to find a better pitcher than him or Hamels He will likely pitch his entire career in Philly He may end up holding a lot of franchise records And he can always be counted on to take the ball I am not just putting him here because he is my co-worker Nor am I putting him here because I have to see how hard he still throws balls when he whizzes a Nerf ball down the hall and past my head during every commercial break He genuinely is the best reliever who came up as part of the Phillies and Steve Bedrosian all started their careers elsewhere Not only is Ricky the best RP who came up through the system At least not among people who eventually got a chance to close and the guy many people would agree is the greatest hitter in MLB history has a slash line of .091/.231/.182/.413
