2024 Topps Heritage #171
Johan Rojas was the Phillies' opening day center fielder, but a slow start and shaky defense led to a demotion to Lehigh Valley in mid-June.  He'd be back up relatively quickly due to an injury to Bryce Harper, batting .252 through the end of the season and improving on his defense.  Rojas made 102 starts in center field, more than any other player, and it would seem he'll battle Brandon Marsh for playing time in center in 2025.  For the season, he batted .243 with three home runs, 32 RBIs and 25 stolen bases, second most on the club.
