Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Brandon Marsh is experiencing a career-best hot streak for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2026. After a difficult 2025 season where he went 0-for-April and suffered a hamstring injury, Marsh has rebounded dramatically. He is currently leading all of Major League Baseball in batting average at .353 through the Phillies' first 41 games. Marsh extended his career-high hitting streak to 12 games with a 4-for-4 performance against Colorado on Sunday. Over his last 30 games, he is slashing .361/.385/.509. His success is backed by an exceptional .388 BABIP and a career-high .373 career BABIP (second all-time among players with 2,000+ PAs). Marsh credits his routine, preparation, and support from teammates and coaching staff for his turnaround.
