Knapp making most of limited playing time

In his 16th start of the year on Sunday in an 8-4 loss to the Reds, Knapp crushed the Phillies' longest homer of the season at 434 feet, according to Statcast™.

Tommy Joseph and Aaron Altherr have dominated the headlines of resurgent Phillies hitters on scorching hot tears. But Knapp's numbers, albeit in more sporadic playing time, are better than both.

Since April 27, Knapp leads the Phillies with a .306 batting average, a .405 on-base percentage (the only one on the team above .400), and a 1.016 OPS in 36 at-bats.
