Why The Phillies Are The SMARTEST Team in the MLB

How did the Phillies make the World Series????

Going into the 2022 season the Philadelphia Phillies had the 4th highest payroll in all of Major League Baseball yet the longest active playoff drought in the National League.

Castellanos and Schwarber were crucial signings for the Phillies, but Bryce Harper's injury forced them to play in the field.

Now going into the Postseason the Phillies have one of the worst defensive teams in the MLB.

But what if I told you that by the time the playoffs started the Phillies' bad defense did not affect the outcome of their games?
With a combination of trade deadline upgrades, improving young players, and analytics, the Phillies were able to win games in the postseason despite not having very good defenders.

IMPORTANT PICK-UPS:
Brandon Marsh
Edmundo Sosa

WHY?
it created platoons in the lineup

POSTSEASON:
Standout postseason performers were Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, Rhys Hoskins, and Bryce Harper

OUTLIERS:
Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, Rhys Hoskins, and Bryce Harper did not crack under the pressure and performed above their regular season stats during the postseason.
