This year the Phillies can attribute a lot of their success to the seemingly never-ending array of aces that they trot out to the mound. Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt and even Vance Worley have pitched this team to the top of not only their division but the entire major leagues.
While the rotation’s success on the mound was nearly a given, I’ve been pleasantly surprised on a number of occasions when the pitchers have helped themselves at the plate. It might not be much but any contributions a pitcher can make at the plate to help himself are huge. Which got me to thinking about Phillies pitchers both past and present that carried a big stick and actually knew how to use it. So I bring to you this list of the 10 greatest Phillies hitting pitchers of all time.
