Taking a Look at Tre Turner’s 2026 Season Thus Far
Trea Turner isn’t having his best season at the plate thus far.
He’s batting .239 with 17 home runs, 52 RBI, and an OPS+ of 77.
Turner does strike out a lot (131), but he also has the most at-bats in the NL (550+).
Turner has also added 133 hits, 80+ runs scored, 23 doubles, and four triples to the Phillies offense.
While the Phillies are in a thick race for the NL east division crown, getting Turner going could pay dividends heading into October.
