Phillies' Trea Turner Hits 21 in 7 Games, Sparks Team's Historic Surge

Trea Turner, who signed a $300 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies before the 2023 season, has been a key factor in the team's success in 2025, despite being snubbed for the All-Star game. Turner is currently hitting .295 with 151 hits, leading the National League, and has achieved a remarkable 21 hits in his last seven games, a feat not seen by a Phillies player since 1930. His balanced offensive production and improved defense, reflected by a +8 fielding run value, demonstrate his value to the franchise. Turner’s performance, combined with strong contributions from teammates like Bryson Stott—who has corrected a swing flaw and is hitting .333/.410/.556 recently—has powered the Phillies to one of the best records in baseball. The Phillies, who have appeared in recent postseasons but have yet to win a championship, hope to peak at the right time as the playoffs approach, with Turner and Stott leading a formidable lineup. Manager Rob Thomson and Turner himself emphasize the importance of consistency and natural hitting ability in their recent hot streak.
