Bryce Harper won the race for second place, and Trea Turner came in 13th. The Phillies were one of just five MLB teams with more than one player represented in the top 20.

Here's the full list:

Unfortunately, anyone who bought a jersey in 2024 was sort of ripped off. After coming under attack for quality issues, the products will be redesigned next season. Perhaps most notably, the names on the back of jerseys will revert to their previous, larger size in 2025. Tim described the other changes in detail here.
