15 Jun
Summary
- Brandon Marsh is fourth in MLB batting average at .322.
- He leads the Phillies in hits with 76, ahead of Schwarber.
- He could bring back-to-back batting titles to the Phillies.
Brandon Marsh is having a career year, positioning himself as a surprising contender for the National League batting title. As of June 15, 2026, his .322 batting average ranks fourth in Major League Baseball, making him the Philadelphia Phillies' leading hitter.
His remarkable consistency has placed him ahead of teammate Kyle Schwarber in hits, with 76 total. This surge could potentially secure back-to-back batting titles for the Phillies, following Trea Turner's win last season, which ended a 68-year drought.
While Otto Lopez of the Miami Marlins leads the league at .343, Marsh is in strong contention. Other notable left fielders like Ian Happ and Bryan Reynolds are being considered for All-Star selections based on different metrics such as home runs and RBIs, but Marsh's batting average puts him in a unique position.
