Phillies 2018 season report card: Left fielder Rhys Hoskins

No one on the Phillies received more attention than Rhys Hoskins coming into the 2018 season. In his electric rookie season, he hit 18 home runs, drove in 48 runs, and posted a 1.014 OPS in 50 games. At the end of the year, he received one second-place and nine third-place Rookie of the Year votes.

While it was wholly unrealistic to expect Hoskins to continue his torrid hitting pace through all of 2019, he started off quite hot with a .303/.457/.528 line, four home runs, eight doubles, and 19 runs batted in through April.
