Harper slashed .293/.401/.499 with 21 homers, 71 RBI and a .900 slugging percentage despite missing the first six-weeks of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Phils’ slugger picked up his slugging after the All-Star break and led the 2023 Philadelphia Phillies to their second consecutive postseason appearance. Harper batted .286 with five home runs, eight RBI, and a 1.098 OPS during the Phillies postseason run. Harper was the only member of the ballclub to win a Silver Slugger Award, C J.T. Realmuto, OF Kyle Schwarber, and SS Trea Turner were finalists in their respective positions but did not win.
