The National League is becoming increasingly competitive, particularly in the NL East where the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, and Atlanta Braves are likely to battle for supremacy. The Phillies, who had a strong 2024 season with a 95-67 record, project to decline in 2025 due to an aging roster—six starting hitters are expected to be 32 or older. Concerns about depth and performance consistency raise questions about their ability to exceed past achievements, despite star power in players like Bryce Harper and Zack Wheeler.
The NL East is set for a competitive season, with the Phillies, Mets, and Braves all potentially contending for the top spot while showing signs of age and depth concerns in their rosters.
While the Phillies had a strong 2024 season, projections for 2025 suggest they could see a decline, spotlighting the challenge presented by aging players and lack of impactful depth.
