Daily News | A year later, trading for Brandon Marsh is still paying off for the Phillies
But this much is clear: Trading for Marsh has worked out well enough for the Phillies that its ripple effects may be felt at this year’s deadline, too.For years, the Phillies hoped Roman Quinn, or Adam Haseley, or Scott Kingery, or Moniak would take over center field. Instead, they kept coming back to Odúbel Herrera. And from 2019 to 2021, they ranked 27th out of 30 teams with a .669 on-base plus slugging from their center fielders.
Marsh, not eligible for free agency until at least after the 2027 season, batted .239/.299/.354 with 21 doubles, five triples, 10 homers, 56 RBIs, a 7.2% walk rate, and a 35.7% strikeout rate in 583 plate appearances for the Angels. In 473 plate appearances for the Phillies entering the weekend, he was a .282/.347/.454 hitter with 27 doubles, eight triples, 11 homers, 52 RBIs, a 9.1% walk rate, and a 30.7% strikeout rate.
Sure enough, Marsh began making more contact and hitting the ball harder, especially to right field. And because he was getting a longer look at pitches, he didn’t chase quite as much.
