Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (P–Q)
List of baseball players / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Philadelphia Phillies are a Major League Baseball team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The team has played officially under two names since beginning play in 1883: the current moniker, as well as the "Quakers", which was used in conjunction with "Phillies" during the team's early history.[1][2] The team was also known unofficially as the "Blue Jays" during the World War II era.[3] Since the franchise's inception, 2,081 players have made an appearance in a competitive game for the team, whether as an offensive player (batting and baserunning) or a defensive player (fielding, pitching, or both).
Of those 2,081 Phillies, 88 have had surnames beginning with the letter P, and 5 beginning with the letter Q. One member of this list has been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame; Tony Pérez played for the Phillies during the 1983 season after 18 seasons with 3 other teams.[4] No members of this list have been elected to the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame,[5] nor do they hold any franchise records.[6][7]
Among the 45 batters in this list, three players share a perfect 1.000 batting average, each in one career at-bat with Philadelphia: first baseman Mike Pasquella,[8] catcher Bill Peterman,[9] and right fielder Ty Pickup.[10] Other players with an average above .300 include Hunter Pence (.324 through 2011), Alex Pitko (.316 in one season),[11] Walter Plock (.400 in one season),[12] and Les Powers (.346 in one season).[13] Plácido Polanco leads all members of this list with 49 home runs,[14] and Dode Paskert's 291 runs batted in (RBI) are best.[15] Of the batters whose surnames begin with Q, Tom Quinlan leads in average (.200), home runs (1), and RBI (3).[16]
Of this list's 43 pitchers, two share 1–0 win–loss records, best in terms of winning percentage; Donn Pall and Clarence Pickrel each won their only decisions as members of the Phillies.[17][18] Wiley Piatt leads all members of this list with 56 victories,[19] and Ike Pearson's 47 defeats are the most in that statistical category.[20] Robert Person leads this list's pitchers with 535 strikeouts,[21] and infielder Tomás Pérez shares the best earned run average (ERA) with two pitchers—Horacio Piña and Al Porto; all have a 0.00 ERA in their Phillies careers.[22][23][24] Among the pitchers whose surnames start with Q, Paul Quantrill leads in winning percentage (.481; a 13–14 record), ERA (4.86), and strikeouts (116).[25]
