Here’s a look at what eight key Phillies did in the post-season and their OPS in the regular season:
| Player | AB | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS | Season OPS |
| Rollins | 59 | 237 | 286 | 407 | 692 | 786 |
| Werth | 55 | 309 | 387 | 582 | 969 | 861 |
| Utley | 50 | 220 | 391 | 460 | 851 | 915 |
| Howard | 52 | 269 | 397 | 500 | 897 | 881 |
| Burrell | 44 | 227 | 346 | 455 | 801 | 875 |
| Victorino | 52 | 269 | 345 | 481 | 826 | 799 |
| Feliz | 44 | 250 | 283 | 273 | 555 | 704 |
| Ruiz | 46 | 261 | 346 | 391 | 737 | 620 |
Using OPS as the measure, Ruiz and Werth were better offensive players during the post-season than during the regular season. Rollins, Utley, Burrell and Feliz were worse. Victorino and Howard were about the same.
Here’s the group ordered by OPS in the post-season and then OPS in the regular season:
Post season |
||
| Player | OPS | |
| 1 | Werth | 969 |
| 2 | Howard | 897 |
| 3 | Utley | 851 |
| 4 | Victorino | 826 |
| 5 | Burrell | 801 |
| 6 | Ruiz | 737 |
| 7 | Rollins | 692 |
| 8 | Feliz | 555 |
Regular season |
||
| 1 | Utley | 915 |
| 2 | Howard | 881 |
| 3 | Burrell | 875 |
| 4 | Werth | 861 |
| 5 | Victorino | 799 |
| 6 | Rollins | 786 |
| 7 | Feliz | 704 |
| 8 | Ruiz | 620 |
Werth didn’t have a good series against the Dodgers in the NLCS, hitting just 190/227/238 as he went 4-for-21 with a double and seven strikeouts. He was a monster in the NLDS and the World Series, though, going 13-for-34 with six doubles, a triple and a home run.
Howard went 2-for-11 against the Brewers. He hit .300 against the Dodgers, but with just one extra-base hit, a double. 6-for-21 with three home runs in the World Series.
Utley went 5-for-33 in the NLDS and World Series combined (but with two home runs, seven walks and a double), but had a fantastic NLCS. 6-for-17 (.353) with two doubles, a home run and six walks against the Dodgers.
Victorino had a huge series against the Brewers, 5-for-14 with three doubles and a home run, but cooled after that. 9-for-38 (.237) with a triple and a home run against LA and the Rays.
Burrell 9-for-30 (.300) with three home runs against the Brewers and Dodgers before going 1-for-14 (with five walks) in the World Series.
Ruiz was 1-for-14 against the Brewers, but 11-for-27 (.407) with three doubles and a home run after the NLDS.
Rollins terrorized the Brewers (375/412/688 with two doubles and a home run in 16 at-bats), but went 8-for-43 (.186) in the NLCS and World Series.
Feliz had one extra-base hit, a double, in 44 post-season at-bats. He’s now slugging .296 in 54 playoff at-bats for his career. We may have to cut him some slack, what with winning the World Series and all.
Ruben Amaro Jr will be the Phillies next GM.
