Bryson Stott continues to draw attention this season with a strong start that’s placed him second in the Philadelphia Phillies‘ batting average rankings after just 28 games. He currently sits ahead of Bryce Harper and Trea Turner.
According to the Phillies’ stats, Stott is the second best in BA hitting .292 with an .804 OPS through 25 games this season. Harper, batting just .231, ranks near the bottom among players with at least 10 games played. Trea Turner sits slightly higher with a .262 batting average and a .675 OPS.
Through 28 games, the Phillies hold a 15-13 record. They recently won a series against the Cubs, taking two out of three games — their best result from their latest road trip, during which they managed just two wins in six games.
Who leads the Phillies in batting average after 28 games?
Among players with at least 10 MLB games played in 2025, Edmundo Sosa leads the Phillies in batting average, hitting .438 through 13 games. Coming off the bench, that’s an impressive mark for the utility player now in his fourth season with Philadelphia.

Trea Turner also struggling
Turner has also had a tough start, hitting just .262 across 26 games. He ranks fourth in strikeouts with 23, just behind Harper. Notably, both Turner and Harper have had more plate appearances than Stott, making Stott’s efficiency — posting stronger numbers in just 96 at-bats and 109 plate appearances — even more impressive.
