Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (W–Z)

Main article: Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster

The Philadelphia Phillies are a Major League Baseball team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The team has played officially under two names since beginning play between 1882 and 1883: the current moniker, as well as the "Quakers", which was used in conjunction with "Phillies" during the team's early history.^[1][2] The team was also known unofficially as the "Blue Jays" during the World War II era.^[3] Since the franchise's inception, 2,081 players have made an appearance in a competitive game for the team, whether as an offensive player (batting and baserunning) or a defensive player (fielding, pitching, or both).

Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame member Cy Williams was a three-time National League home run champion while playing for the Phillies from 1918 to 1930.

Of those 2,081 Phillies, 114 have had surnames beginning with the letter W, 8 beginning with the letter Y, and 7 beginning with the letter Z; there has never been a Phillies player, nor a player in Major League Baseball history, whose surname begins with the letter X.^[4][5] Three have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame: pitcher Billy Wagner who played for the Phillies in 2004 and 2005;^[6] center fielder Lloyd Waner, who was a Phillie during the 1942 season;^[7] and left fielder Hack Wilson, who played for Philadelphia in 1934.^[8] One member of this list has been elected to the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame; center fielder Cy Williams played 13 seasons for the Phillies, leading the National League in home runs three times in that span.^[9][10]

Among the 70 batters in this list, catcher Matt Walbeck has the highest batting average, at 1.000; he notched a hit in his only at-bat with Philadelphia.^[11] Other players with an average above .300 include Charlie Waitt (.333 in one season),^[12] Curt Walker (.311 in four seasons),^[13] Harry Walker (.339 in two seasons),^[14] Phil Weintraub (.311 in one season),^[15] Pinky Whitney (.307 in ten seasons),^[16] and Williams (.306). Williams also leads this list in home runs, with 217, and runs batted in (RBI), with 795.^[10] Among the players whose surnames start with Y and Z, Charlie Yingling (.250) and Charlie Ziegler (.273) have the highest averages;^[17][18] Del Young and Todd Zeile lead their respective lists in home runs and RBI.^[19][20]

Of this list's 59 pitchers, four share the best win–loss record, in terms of winning percentage; Fred Wenz won two games and lost none in his Phillies career,^[21] while Bob Wells, Deke White, and Mike Zagurski each earned a win in their only decisions.^[22][23][24] Rick Wise leads all members of this list in victories (75) and defeats (76),^[25] and is one of ten Phillies pitchers to throw a no-hitter, accomplishing the feat on June 23, 1971.^[26] Randy Wolf leads in strikeouts, having thrown 971 in his eight-season Phillies career.^[27] The earned run average (ERA) leaders are Huck Wallace and Dan Warthen; each amassed a 0.00 ERA by allowing no earned runs in their Phillies careers.^[28][29] One position player, right fielder Glenn Wilson, also sports a 0.00 ERA after his only pitching appearance with Philadelphia.^[30] Among players who have allowed runs, Billy Wagner's 1.86 ERA is best.^[31] Leaders among the Y- and Z-named pitchers include Floyd Youmans (1 win, 5.70 ERA, 20 strikeouts), Zagurski (36 strikeouts), and Tom Zachary (4.26 ERA).^[24][32][33]

One player, Bucky Walters, has made 30% or more of his Phillies appearances as a pitcher and a position player. He amassed a 38–53 pitching record with a 4.48 ERA while batting .260 with seven home runs as a third baseman.^[34]
