Phillies FanGraphs Projections for 2024

by

The Philadelphia Phillies’ FanGraphs projections for the 2024 season give some insight into how the team may perform this season. Specifically of interest are the FanGraphs ZiPS DC projections. These projections take into account the likely depth chart for the team. The standard FanGraphs ZiPS projections do not take into account the distribution of playing time.

Both position player and pitcher projections will be evaluated, with the most notable individual player projections in each area being looked at. However, the projections for every individual player will not be specifically looked at. It is not guaranteed that these projections for the season will hold up. With that being said, these projections give a good idea of what may happen if things go to plan.
