With the halfway break nearing completion, we look at three Phillies who have overperformed expectations and three who have underwhelmed so far this season.

The Philadelphia Phillies have a 44-44 record at the halfway break, good enough for second in the National League East.

While it’s no surprise that players like Bryce Harper and Zack Wheeler are doing well and players like Vince Velasquez and Héctor Neris are struggling, there have been some surprises, for better or worse, so far this year.
