One of the major storylines during last season was the difference in production for Phillies stars Rhys Hoskins, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto between the first and second halves of the season.
In the first half, Hoskins led the way with an impressive .263/.401/.530 slashline, while Realmuto, .273/.328/.438 and Harper, .253/.370/.470 struggled relative to their expectations. In the second half, Hoskins regressed, slashing .180/.318/.361 and Harper, who slashed .270/.376/.564, and Realmuto, who slashed .278/.327/.565 both caught fire.
Harper and Realmuto were both serviceable players in the first half, but Hoskins second half was one of the worst among all qualified major leaguers.
