It feels like Aaron Altherr has been around for some time and yet barely any time at all. He debuted with the Phillies back in 2014, making his first real impact at the end of the 2015 season. A broken wrist in spring training of 2016 robbed Altherr of any real success that year, but 2017 was when Altherr really shined with a .856 OPS in 107 games.

Altherr came into 2018 in a playing time battle with Nick Williams in right field. Altherr quickly lost the battle as he struggled at the plate, striking out in a career-high 31.
