About one quarter of the way through the 2026 MLB season, Brandon Marsh is having a career year for the Philadelphia Phillies.

For the team in general, this year has been an up-and-down roller coaster, with manager Rob Thomson getting fired 28 games into the campaign and being replaced by interim manager Don Mattingly . Marsh has been a steady, consistent force in the middle of the lineup.

While it’s still early, it’s safe to say Marsh is vying for his first career All-Star Game selection.

In 38 games, Marsh is batting .350, which leads all of baseball. His .882 OPS and 143 OPS+ are the highest marks of his career in a season. He is third on the team with 21 RBIs.
