  • Phillies

It's always fun during Spring Training to see younger players wearing obscure numbers. But that got us to thinking; who is the greatest player in the history of every number for the Phillies? After deliberation, here's our list. 

0: Al Oliver

Oliver appeared in 28 games for the Phillies during the 1984 season, splitting that time between first base and left field. He actually hit .312 in 93 at-bats. He's the only player to ever wear No. 0 for the Phillies. 

00: Rick White

Who could forget Rick White's illustrious 38-game stint out of the bullpen for the Phillies in 2006? The righty posted a 4.34 ERA over 38 games. That's enough for him to edge out the only other double zero in Phillies history, Omar Olivares, who appeared in five games for the 1995 club. 

1: Richie Ashburn (Number Retired)

Before he became the most accomplished color commentator in Phillies history, Ashburn spent the first 12 years of his career with the club, making four All-Star Game appearances. Ashburn — who won NL batting titles in 1955 and 1958 — is third in franchise history in hits (2,217). He was inducted onto the Wall of Fame in 1979, and later the Hall of Fame in 1995. 

2: Granny Hamner

A 1987 induction onto the Wall of Fame, Hamner played for the Phillies from 1944-1959. From 1949-1959, he donned No. 2, making three consecutive All-Star Game appearances from 1952-1954. 

3: Bryce Harper

Harper will almost certainly be the last player to wear No. 3 for the Phillies, because there's a strong chance it will be retired once he is elected to the Hall of Fame. Over his first seven seasons with the Phillies, Harper has won three Silver Sluggers and the 2021 NL MVP. His "Bedlam at the Bank" home run in Game 5 of the 2022 NLCS sent the Phillies to the World Series, and earned him NLCS MVP. 

Harper, of course, switched to No. 3 when he came to the Phillies in 2019 because 34, the number he wore during his seven seasons with the Washington Nationals, eventually was retired: 

4: Lenny Dykstra

Dykstra spent the final eight seasons of his career with the Phillies, making three All-Star Game appearances (1990; 1994-1995). He finished runner-up to Barry Bonds in NL MVP voting in 1993, posting a .902 OPS and setting a franchise single-season record with 129 walks. "Nails" was a key cog for the improbable 1993 team that won the NL pennant. 

5: Pat Burrell

The Phillies selected "Pat The Bat" with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1998 MLB Draft. Burrell spent nine seasons in red pinstripes, hitting 251 home runs, the fourth-most in franchise history. Burrell's final hit as a Phillie came in the seventh inning of Game 5 of the 2008 World Series, a double that narrowly missed being a home run. Charlie Manuel pinch ran for him with Eric Bruntlett, who eventually was driven in by Pedro Feliz as the winning run in the clinching game of the Fall Classic. 

6: Ryan Howard (Number Currently Iced)

The 2005 NL Rookie of the Year and 2006 NL MVP, Howard is one of the greatest sluggers in franchise history. The 382 career home runs that the 2008 World Series Champion hit in a 13-year career spent exclusively with the Phillies are second in franchise history. The Phillies have kept his No. 6 on ice since he last played in 2016. It's unclear if they will one day retire it. 

7: Trea Turner

Over the first three seasons of an 11-year/$300 million contract, Turner has hit .287 with a .798 OPS and 85 stolen bases. He's coming off of his finest season as a Phillie yet, as he won the NL batting title in 2025 and finished fifth in NL MVP voting. 

8: Shane Victorino 

This one was difficult, because two Wall of Famers — Bob Boone and Juan Samuel — wore No. 8. Instead of them, we're going with Victorino, who is likely to be one day be inducted onto the Wall of Fame. Victorino spent parts of eight seasons with the Phillies, winning three Gold Glove Awards (2008-2010) and making All-Star Game appearances in 2009 and 2011. His grand slam off of CC Sabathia in Game 1 of the 2008 NLDS vs. the Milwaukee Brewers is one of the biggest postseason hits in Phillies history.

 9: Manny Trillo

You could easily make a case for Von Hayes, but the strong-armed second baseman Trillo gets the nod instead. In parts of four seasons with the Phillies from 1979-1983, Trillo won three Gold Gloves. His triple in Game 5 of the 1980 NLCS against the Houston Astros earned him series MVP. He was inducted onto the Wall of Fame in 2021. 

10: Larry Bowa

This one will be very controversial, because what No. 88 is to Dallas Cowboys wide receivers, No. 10 has become for the Phillies. No. 10 belongs to J.T. Realmuto and Darren Daulton, arguably the top two catchers in franchise history. Either would be an appropriate selection. But Bowa recorded 1,798 hits, made five All-Star Game appearances and won a pair of Gold Gloves wearing No. 10 during 12 seasons playing as a Phillie. He also wore No. 10 during stints as manager (2001-2004) and bench coach (2004-2017). 

11: Jimmy Rollins (Number Currently Iced)

For as difficult as No. 10 was, No. 11 is that much of a layup. Rollins was the 2007 NL MVP, a four-time Gold Glove Award winner and is the franchise's all-time leader in hits (2,306). No one has worn No. 11 since he last played for the Phillies in 2014, and there would seem to be a strong chance it's eventually retired by the team. 

12: Kyle Schwarber 

With all due respect to Mickey Morandini and Matt Stairs, Schwarber is the easy pick here. Across his first four seasons in red pinstripes, Schwarber has clubbed 187 home runs. That includes 56 in an NL MVP-runner up campaign in 2025, the second-most in franchise history behind only Howard's 58 in 2006. Schwarber's 14 playoff home runs are the most in franchise history. Armed with a new five-year/$150 million contract, Schwarber should continue to cement his legacy as an all-time great Phillie. 

13: Billy Wagner

For a franchise that began play in 1883, the Phillies have had surprisingly few impact players wear the No. 13. Wagner — a Hall of Fame closer — recorded 59 of his 422 career saves while pitching for the Phillies between 2004 and 2005.

 14: Jim Bunning (Number Retired)

Hall of Famer Jim Bunning wore No. 14 across two stints with the Phillies (1964-1967; 1970-71). As a Phillie, Bunning won 89 games and posted a 2.93 ERA. The Phillies retired Bunning's No. 14 in 2001, five years after he was inducted into Cooperstown. 

15: Dick Allen (Number Retired)

Allen wore No. 32 when he won NL Rookie of the Year in 1964, but primarily was No. 15 over his two turns with the Phillies (1963-69; 1975-76). Allen posted a .902 OPS across nine seasons with the Phillies. The Phillies retired his No. 15 in September of 2020, just three months before he passed away. He was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2025. 

16: César Hernández

Brandon Marsh probably has a case to be the pick here already, and with more time on the Phillies, could cement his place here. But Hernández was an underrated player on mostly bad Phillies teams from 2013-2019. Hernández led baseball with 11 triples in 2016, and recorded 807 hits as a member of the Phillies. 

17: Scott Rolen

Some will never get over Rolen's ugly exit from the Phillies in 2002, but the bottom line is he's a Hall of Fame who played more games with the Phillies (844) than any other club. As a Phillie, Rolen won 1997 NL Rookie of the Year, along with Gold Glove Awards in 1998, 2000 and 2001. Because of all that, Rolen beat out a player much more well-liked by Phillies fans, Rhys Hoskins. 

18: Darin Ruf

18 is a weird number for the Phillies. Some notable people — Victorino, Rick Wise, Chris Short, Didi Gregorius, Iván de Jesús and Benito Santiago — wore it for very short periods as Phillies. Ruf wasn't a particularly remarkable player, but he homered 35 times and posted a .747 OPS in parts of five seasons with the Phillies. So sure, let's go with him. 

19: Greg Luzinski

"The Bull" spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Phillies, debuting at age 19. Luzinski made the NL All-Star team four seasons in a row from 1975-1978, and finished runner-up in NL MVP voting in both 1975 and 1977. His 223 home runs are seventh in Phillies history. 

Mike Schmidt is the greatest Phillie ever. (Malcolm Emmons/Imagn Images)

 20: Mike Schmidt (Number Retired)

Schmidt is the greatest player in Phillies history, and widely viewed as the best third baseman in MLB history. Schmidt initially wore No. 22 when he was first called up, but wore 20 for the overwhelming majority of an 18-year career spent exclusively with the Phillies. Schmidt's No. 20 was retired by the Phillies on May 26, 1990, five years before he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. 

21: Andy Seminick

One of the better catchers in franchise history, Seminick spent parts of 12 seasons over two stints with the Phillies during the 1940s and 1950s. He was an All-Star in 1949, and posted a .770 OPS during his time with the Phillies. 

22: Pete Incaviglia

Schmidt (1972), Bake McBride (1977-78) and Andrew McCutchen (2020-22) all wore No. 22 for short periods with the Phillies. Incaviglia got the nod, though, as he hit 24 home runs, drove in 89 runs and posted an .848 OPS in 116 games for the 1993 Phillies. 

23: Greg Gross

For his first four seasons with the Phillies from 1979-1982, Gross wore No. 23. Gross established himself as one of baseball's premier pinch hitters during that period, helping the 1980 Phillies to bring home the first World Series title in franchise history. Gross edged out Jeff Hoffman (2024) and Plácido Polanco (2002), who only wore No. 23 for short periods with the Phillies. 

24: Mike Lieberthal

Lieberthal may not have been part of any great Phillies teams, but he did enough during 13 seasons with the Phillies from 1994-2006 to eventually earn induction onto the club's Wall of Fame. Lieberthal was an All-Star in both 1999 and 2000, winning a Gold Glove Award in the first of those two years. 

25: Jim Thome

Thome wore No. 25 with the Phillies from 2003-2005, and then again when he rejoined the team in 2012. 89 of the 101 home runs Thome hit as a Phillie came in his first two seasons with the team, with a 47-homer season earning him a fourth-place finish in NL MVP in 2003. Thome — who is one of nine players in MLB history with 600 home runs — hit his 400th home run while playing for the Phillies in June of 2004:

 26: Chase Utley (Number Currently Iced)

26 was the only number that Utley ever wore during his 16 MLB seasons, the first 12-and-a-half of which came with the Phillies. Utley wore No. 26 when he hit a grand slam at Veterans Stadium for his first hit in April of 2003, and then also during his famous deke play at Citizens Bank Park in Game 5 of the 2008 World Series. Utley appears to be trending towards Hall of Fame induction, which would almost certainly trigger a retirement of his number. No Phillie has worn No. 26 since he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in August of 2015. 

27: Aaron Nola 

A first-round pick in 2014, Nola has worn No. 27 since making his MLB Debut in July of 2015. While there have been some trials and tribulations during Nola's time with the Phillies, the 2018 All-Star has largely been one of the most durable starting pitchers in baseball over his first 11 seasons. Nola isn't going to be a Hall of Famer, but if he completes his current contract, he'll have spent 16 seasons with the Phillies, and he'll be among the leaders in pretty much all pitching categories. It will be interesting to see if consideration is ever given to retiring No. 27, which has also previously belonged to Polanco (2003-05; 2010-12), Bottalico (2001-02) and Kent Tekulve (1985-1988). 

28: Curt Simmons

A native of Egypt, Pa., Simmons pitched for the Phillies for 13 seasons to start his career. He was an All-Star in 1952, 1953 and 1957. Simmons was inducted onto the Phillies Wall of Fame in 1993. Honorable mention to Jayson Werth, who donned No. 28 as a Phillie from 2007-2010, a period in which he hit 95 home runs and helped the Phillies to win the 2008 World Series.  

29: John Kruk

Kruk wore four numbers during his six seasons with the Phillies. He settled on No. 29 in 1991 after having previously worn Nos. 11, 19 and 28. As No. 29, Kruk made three All-Star Game appearances in a row from 1991-1993. The "Krukker" was picked here over Stan Lopata, who was an All-Star in both 1955 and 1956 as No. 29. 

30: Dave Cash

David Robertson wore No. 30 in each of his three stints with the Phillies, which is a fun note. Still, Cash had to be the pick here. While he only spent three years with the Phillies, Cash made them count. He was an All-Star in every season he spent with the Phillies, appearing on the NL squad from 1974-1976. Cash led baseball with 213 hits in 1975, and the NL with 12 triples in 1976. 

31: Garry Maddox

Arguably the greatest defender in Phillies history, Maddox won eight consecutive Gold Glove Awards while wearing No. 31 from 1976-1982. His finest overall season came in 1976, when he hit .330 and finished fifth in NL MVP voting. Maddox was inducted onto the Wall of Fame in 2001. 

32: Steve Carlton (Number Retired)

One of the greatest pitchers in MLB history, "Lefty" wore No. 32 for the entirety of the 15 years he spent with the Phillies. During that period, Carlton won four NL Cy Young Awards (1972, 1977, 1980 and 1982). Carlton's 329 wins are 11th in MLB history, with 241 of those victories coming with the Phillies. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994 with a Phillies cap on his plaque. The Phillies had long since retired his number by that point, as they did so in July of 1989.

 33: Cliff Lee

Lee wore No. 34 during his first stint with the Phillies, in which he helped pitch them to a second consecutive NL pennant and pitched a complete Game at Yankee Stadium in Game 1 of the 2009 World Series. When Lee returned to the Phillies in free agency ahead of the 2011 season, though, that number was taken. More on that in a minute. In 106 starts as No. 33, Lee posted a 2.89 ERA and made All-Star Game appearances in 2011 and 2013. In one of the toughest NL Cy Young Award races ever, Lee finished third in 2011, behind Clayton Kershaw and Roy Halladay. 

34: Roy Halladay (Number Retired)

Halladay wore No. 32 for his 12 seasons with the Blue Jays, a number that Toronto has retired in his honor. However, because of Carlton, that number was unavailable when he joined the Phillies in 2010. So he switched to No. 34. He was so dominant over his first two seasons with the Phillies — including in 2010, when he threw a regular-season perfect game, postseason no-hitter and won the NL Cy Young Award — that he cemented his Hall of Fame case. Halladay's No. 34 was posthumously retired by the Phillies in August of 2021 following a first-ballot election to Cooperstown. 

35: Cole Hamels

As we continue on our run of some of the greatest pitchers in Phillies history, we land on the most recent World Series MVP for the franchise. A first-round pick in 2002, Hamels spent nine-and-a-half seasons with the Phillies to begin his career. In addition to winning NLCS and World Series MVP in 2008, Hamels was part of a combined no-hitter in 2014 and then pitched a solo no-hitter in what turned out to be his final start with the team in July of 2015. Interestingly, the Phillies haven't frozen Hamels' number in the same way they have with Howard, Rollins and Utley. No one wore No. 35 from the time Hamels was traded in 2015 through the 2021 season. However, Óscar Mercado, Drew Ellis, David Dahl and Carlos Hernández have all worn it in recent seasons. 

36: Robin Roberts (Number Retired)

Outside of Carlton, Roberts may be the greatest starting pitcher in Phillies history. He was an All-Star every year from 1950-1956, meaning he appeared in the Midsummer Classic in seven of his 14 seasons with the Phillies. The Cy Young Award wasn't given out until 1956, and it would take until 1967 for each league to get their own. Rest easy knowing that Roberts would have taken home multiple if it was around from the get-go in his career. He led the NL in wins every year from 1952-55, and according to Baseball Reference, his 69.8 WAR is tops among pitchers in Phillies history. The Phillies retired Roberts' No. 36 in March of 1962, despite the fact that he pitched for the Baltimore Orioles that season. 36 was the first number the Phillies retired, and it came for a pitcher who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1976. 

37: Odúbel Herrera

Herrera ultimately turned out to be disappointing, both on and off the field. From a production standpoint, he was an All-Star in 2016 and was worth 13.2 WAR across parts of seven seasons. That was enough for him to edge out names like Weston Wilson (who hit for a cycle) and the late Rhéal Cormier. 

38: Curt Schilling

Schilling has made a lot of enemies, but it's impossible to deny how great of a pitcher he was. Before he won World Series titles with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox, Schilling posted a 3.35 ERA across parts of nine seasons with the Phillies, a stretch in which he made three All-Star Game appearances. Mind you, he put these numbers up during the height of the Steroid Era. Schilling only pitched in the postseason once with the Phillies, doing so in 1993. He began to build his legacy as one of the greatest postseason pitchers in MLB history with a World Series Game 5 complete game shutout against the Blue Jays. Schilling was inducted onto the Wall of Fame in 2013. 

39: Brett Myers

Myers wore No. 41 when he limited the Chicago Cubs to just one run over eight innings at Wrigley Field in his MLB Debut on July 24, 2002. He switched to No. 39 in 2003, and wore that number for seven seasons. Myers had some productive stretches on the mound, logging 190 or more innings in four seasons with the Phillies. However, his most notable moment came when he worked a nine-pitch walk against Sabathia at the height of his powers in Game 1 of the 2008 NLDS, one of the defining moments of a World Series run that year. 

40: Steve Bedrosian 

The highlight of Bedrosian's three-and-a-half seasons with the Phillies came when he won the 1987 NL Cy Young Award. "Bedrock" led baseball with 40 saves during the 1987 season, posting a 2.83 ERA over 65 games for a squad managed by John Felske and Lee Elia.  

41: Chris Short

One of the most underrated pitchers in Phillies history, Short pitched 14 of his 15 MLB seasons in Philadelphia. The lefty was an All-Star in both 1964 and 1967, and is in the top five in franchise history in wins (132), innings pitched (2,253), strikeouts (1,585) and complete-game shutouts (24). Short was inducted onto the Wall of Fame posthumously in 1992.

 42: Ron Reed

Reed posted a 3.06 ERA across 458 games spanning eight seasons with the Phillies, making him one of the most productive relievers that the team has ever employed. Reed turned in scoreless relief appearances in both Games 2 and 5 of the 1980 World Series against the Kansas City Royals, helping the Phillies to win their first championship. He was inducted onto the Wall of Fame in 2022. 

43: Randy Wolf

A second-round pick in 1997, Wolf spent the first eight years of his career with the Phillies. A nasty curveball helped Wolf to make the 2003 All-Star Game. A year later, he fired the first pitch in Citizens Bank Park history as he got the home-opening start for Bowa's Phillies on April 12, 2004. He was also quite the hitter, with four homers as a Phillie. Three of them came in 2004, including a two-homer game on Aug. 11, 2004. Long live the Wolf Pack. 

44: Jesús Luzardo

You can definitely make an argument here for Roy Oswalt or Vicente Padilla, but Luzardo finished seventh in NL Cy Young Award voting during his first season with the Phillies, striking out 216 batters over 183 2/3 innings. He's probably already the best No. 44 in Phillies history, and certainly should be with another season in red pinstripes. 

45: Zack Wheeler

Does there really need to be any explanation here? Since joining the Phillies in 2020, Wheeler has been arguably the best starting pitcher in baseball, with three All-Star Game selections (2021, 2024 and 2025) and runner-up finishes in NL Cy Young Award voting in 2021 and 2024. He and the Phillies haven't gotten over the hump in the postseason, but Wheeler will go down as one of this era's top postseason starters, as he has a 2.18 ERA in 70 1/3 postseason innings. 

46: Ryan Madson

Madson switched to No. 46 in 2009, ahead of a three-year stretch where he thrived as both a set-up man and closer for Charlie Manuel's squad. In 196 regular-season appearances between 2009 and 2011, Madson posted a 2.78 ERA. José Alvarado may ultimately usurp Madson here, but in our opinion, hasn't quite done so yet. Frankly, the Phillies would be thrilled if Alvarado pitches in 2026 the way Madson did from 2009-2011.

 47: Larry Andersen

Before he was a sidekick to Harry Kalas and Scott Franzke in the announcing booth, "LA" wore No. 47 as a reliever over two different stints with the Phillies (1983-1986; 1993-1994). Andersen was part of two teams that won NL pennants, 1983 and 1993. The righty posted a 3.27 ERA in 241 career appearances with the Phillies. 

48: Shane Rawley

An All-Star in 1986, Rawley went 59-48 with a 3.88 ERA over 904 1/3 innings for the Phillies from 1984-1988. He beat out Dickie Noles and Jerad Eickhoff to earn this spot. 

49: Tommy Greene

Greene pitched in parts of six seasons for the Phillies between 1990 and 1995, with a 4.02 ERA to show. His most notable moment with the Phillies was a no-hitter against the Montreal Expos on May 23, 1991, where he struck out 10 and walked seven while throwing 130 pitches at Olympic Stadium. 

50: Héctor Neris

Neris definitely had some highs and lows during eight seasons with the Phillies, but his splitter made him a largely effective reliever whose 520 strikeouts are the most by a relief pitcher in franchise history. The Phillies never made the postseason during Neris' tenure with the team, but reached the World Series in their first year after him. Ironically, they lost to Neris and the Houston Astros in the 2022 Fall Classic. 

51: Carlos Ruiz

Beloved by seemingly every pitcher who worked with him — most notably, the aforementioned Halladay — Ruiz was behind the plate for four no-hitters during his career, which is tied with Jason Varitek for an MLB record. "Chooch" also improved as a hitter during his 11 years with the Phillies, including when he posted a .935 OPS over 114 games during an All-Star campaign in 2012.

52: Ricky Bottalico 

Prior to a successful media career with NBC Sports Philadelphia and 97.5 The Fanatic, Bottalico had two stints as a reliever for the Phillies (1994-98; 2001-02). During the first one, he wore No. 52. That included him representing the Phillies at the 1996 All-Star Game played at Veterans Stadium during a season in which he posted a 3.19 ERA over 61 appearances. 

53: Bobby Abreu

Criminally underappreciated during his career, Abreu is one of the greatest offensive players in Phillies history. Over eight-and-a-half seasons with the Phillies, Abreu hit .303 with 195 home runs, 348 doubles, 254 stolen bases and a .928 OPS. According to Baseball Reference, Abreu's 47.2 WAR is 10th in Phillies history. Abreu was inducted onto the Wall of Fame in 2019. 

54: Brad Lidge

Lidge's 2008 season is one of the greatest that a relief pitcher has ever had. After being acquired in an offseason trade from the Astros, Lidge finished fourth in NL Cy Young Award voting, as he posted a 1.95 ERA and converted all 41 save attempts. He finished off his perfect season in the playoffs, going 7-for-7 on save attempts, including using his wipeout slider to strike out Eric Hinske of the Tampa Bay Rays to give the Phillies their second World Series title. 

55: Ranger Suárez

One of the most beloved Phillies in recent memory, Suárez thrived as both a starter and a reliever over eight season in red pinstripes, posting a 3.38 ERA across 762 regular-season innings. He was even more dominant in the postseason, where Suárez posted a minuscule 1.48 over 42 2/3 October innings. He recorded the final two outs in Game 5 of the 2022 NLCS agains the Padres, earning the save that sent the Phillies to the World Series.

 56: Joe Blanton

Zach Eflin had a real case here, because the righty had some strong moments for the Phillies from 2016-2022. However, Blanton — who posted a 4.47 ERA across five seasons with the Phillies — owns the tiebreaker in the form of a home run in Game 4 of the World Series. 

57: Luis García

Believe it or not, García actually pitched for the Phillies in six different campaigns from 2013-2018. His 4.12 ERA in 251 appearances as a Phillie is indicative of a pitcher who showed just enough to keep you intrigued, but never put it all together in Philadelphia. With all due respect to Rudy Seánez, Antonio Alfonseca and Amaury Telemaco, the competition for No. 57 wasn't especially stiff. 

58: Jonathan Papelbon

Love him or hate him — there's a good chance it's the latter — Papelbon made two All-Star teams (2012 and 2015) and became the all-time franchise leader in saves (123) during three-and-a-half seasons with the Phillies. He had to be the selection here, though Seranthony Domínguez deserves a mention. 

59: Jhoan Duran

It's only been half a season, but Duran's 2.18 ERA and 16 saves were enough for him to claim No. 59. Only eight other Phillies players — Dave Bennett, Todd Jones, John Ennis, Mike Zagurski, Tyson Brummett, Antonio Bastardo, Elvis Araújo and Mark Leiter Jr. — have worn No. 59. 

60: Max Lazar

Lazar's 4.75 ERA over 47 games certainly doesn't stand out, though he had had some impressive appearances over the last two seasons. Frankly, that's enough for Lazar to beat out Ramón Rosso, Colton Murray, Seth Rosin, Jeff Manship, Jason Boyd, Noles and Alex Johnson.

 61: Cristopher Sánchez

Sánchez has gone from fringe Major Leaguer early in his career to one of the game's elite starters. He was an All-Star in 2024, and then finished runner-up in NL Cy Young Award voting in 2025, a campaign that saw him go 13-5 with a 2.50 ERA and 212 strikeouts across 202 innings. 

62: Rick Wise

Two Phillies wore No. 62 during the the infamous 1964 season, Wise and Vic Power. That season was so infamous that no one wore 62 again until Kenny Roberts did it in 2015. Patrick Schuster is the only other player to wear No. 62, as he did it in 2016. So it's not exactly a murder's row. Even though Wise's glory — including his no-hitter on June 23, 1971, a game in which he also homered twice against the Cincinnati Reds — came while rocking No. 38, him wearing No. 62 for part of the 1964 season was enough for him to be the pick here. As a rookie in 1964, Wise went 5-3 with a 4.04 ERA over 69 innings pitched. 

63: Ryan Madson

Congrats to Madson on becoming the only Phillie to be featured on this list twice. Before switching to No. 46 in 2009, Madson wore No. 63 from 2004-2008. Most notably, he posted a 3.05 ERA in 76 games as the top set-up man for Lidge in 2008. 

64: Andrew Bellatti

Bellatti pitched for the Phillies in 2022 and 2023, with his work in the first of those years (a 3.31 ERA in 59 games) enough to push him past the only three other players in franchise history to wear No. 64 — JD Hammer, Victor Arano and Gary Wagner.

 65: JD Hammer

Speaking for Hammer, he wore No. 65 when he posted a 3.79 ERA in 20 relief appearances as a rookie in 2019. Eddie Oropesa — a left-handed reliever who posted a 4.74 ERA in 30 games for the 2001 Phillies — is the only other player in team history to don this number. 

66: J.A. Happ

Five players in Phillies history have worn No. 66, and none of them really stand out. Happ's best moments as a Phillie came after he switched to No. 43 in 2008. He wore No. 66 in 2007 and 2008, making nine appearances and posting a 4.54 ERA. Who else could have been selected here? Do any of José Ruiz, Garrett Cleavinger, Edgar García or JC Ramirez do anything for you? 

67: Mauricio Robles

Robles posted a 1.93 ERA in three games for the 2013 Phillies as a rookie. He never appeared in the majors again. As a parting gift, he gets this participation trophy over José Pirela, Trevor Kelley and Michael Kelly.

 68: Jeff Hoffman

Hoffman revived his career by showing out in a live batting practice session against a rehabbing Harper early in 2023, which eventually earned him a promotion to the majors. As it turned out, he was arguably the team's best reliever in 2023, posting a 2.41 ERA over 54 games. He switched to No. 23 before his All-Star season in 2024, but one really good season was enough for him to beat out Jordan Romano and Damon Jones. 

69: Francisco Morales

Morales' only three MLB appearances came for the 2022 Phillies, and he gave up four earned runs over just five innings (7.20 ERA). He wins by default, here, though, because he's the only Phillie to ever wear No. 69. It's hard to believe this number isn't more in demand. 

70: Bailey Falter

Falter was a pretty unremarkable starter for the Phillies, pitching to a 4.56 ERA in 158 innings for the Phillies between 2021 and 2023. Still, that was enough for him to get the nod here, as Luis Avilán is the only other Phillie to ever wear 70. 

71: Kyle Dohy/Nick Duron

Dohy made a singular scoreless relief appearance for the Phillies in 2021. Duron did the exact same thing for the Phillies in 2022. Who are we to say which one was more important?

72: Never Worn

73: Deivy Grullón

Grullón was a catcher who appeared in four games for the 2019 Phillies. He had just one hit and one RBI in nine at-bats for the Phillies. He's the only Phillie who has ever worn this number. 

74: Ugueth Urbina

The Phillies acquired Urbina from Dave Dombrowski and the Detroit Tigers for the aforementioned Polanco in June of 2005. As a 31-year-old, he posted a 4.13 ERA in 56 games for the 2005 Phillies. However, he never appeared in the majors again because he was sentenced to 14 years in a Venezuelan prison for attempted murder. 

75: Connor Brogdon

Brodgon drew comparisons to Madson early in his career, and never lived up to that perhaps unfair comp. He was still serviceable at times, posting a 3.88 ERA in 142 games with the Phillies. Jim Crowell (2004) and Miguel González (2005) are the only two other No. 75s in Phillies history. 

76: Never Worn

It's actually kind of hard to believe that no one has ever worn this for a team that plays in Philadelphia. Andrew Painter has been wearing it during Spring Training, but he'll likely go to a lower number when he makes his long-anticipated debut. He wore No. 29 at Double-A Reading and No. 16 at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. 

77: Bubby Rossman

Rossman is a 2022 NL Champion, by virtue of allowing two earned runs in his only MLB appearance. The only other Phillie to wear No. 77 is Adonis Medina (2020-21). 

78: Never Worn

79: Justin De Fratus

De Fratus pitched out of the bullpen for the Phillies between 2011 and 2015, wearing three different numbers. De Fratus was No. 79 in 2012 and 2023, posting a 3.77 ERA in 71 games between those two seasons. His numbers as a Phillie are significantly better than the other two No. 79s in Phillies history, JoJo Romero (7.89 ERA) and McKinley Moore (18.90 ERA). 

80-92: Never Worn

93: Pat Neshek

Neshek wore No. 17 in his first stint with the Phillies, representing the team at the 2017 All-Star Game. By the time he returned in free agency in 2018 — he was traded to the Colorado Rockies at the 2017 trade deadline — Hoskins had taken No. 17. So Neshek switched to No. 93 for his second go-round with the Phillies. Not only was he the first Phillie to ever wear this number, he was the first in MLB history

94: Dalier Hinojosa

Hinojosa — a reliever who posted a 1.59 ERA in 28 appearances for the Phillies between 2015 and 2016 — is the only Phillie to ever wear No. 94.

95: Never Worn

96: Tommy Hunter

Hunter initially wore No. 40 after joining the Phillies in 2018, but ultimately switched to No. 96 during that season, wearing it for parts of three seasons in Philadelphia. 

97-98: Never Worn

99: Mitch Williams

Obviously, we all know how the 1993 World Series ended. Williams, though, recorded 102 saves in three seasons with the Phillies, and finished sixth in NL Cy Young Award voting in 1991. Taijaun Walker, So Taguchi and Turk Wendell are the only other Phillies to wear No. 99.
