WATCH: Phillies lineup gets introduced by adorable Brandon Marsh doppelgänger

MLB teams will often try to do something clever and unique for their lineup introduction, which is what the Phillies did when they got a young fan who was dressed like fan-favorite outfielder Brandon Marsh. This young lady introduced the lineup with Marsh, and the two looked like they were spitting images of one another.

A young fan had a Phillies jersey and long brown hair pulled back like Marsh typically does. To complete the look, she had a perfect brown beard attached to her face. The two made the lineup announcement on the broadcast but also heard the national anthem together on the field.

Marsh has become a fan favorite since joining the Phillies from the Los Angeles Angels, and moments like this only add to his popularity among the Phillies fans who pack the stadium every night.

Brandon Marsh helping strong Phillies lineup in 2024

The Philadelphia Phillies have the best record in baseball. With a deep lineup, they have outperformed all expectations in 2024. They're even better than the vaunted Atlanta Braves by four games in the standings on May 19.

Brandon Marsh has helped the Phillies to a hot start

Brandon Marsh has been a big part of why that is. Even without Trea Turner, the Phillies offense hasn't missed much of a beat. Marsh has manned the outfield well and has recorded a 0.8 fWAR, fourth among active hitters in the lineup.

His 105 wRC+ means he's been hitting at an above-average clip. He's slashing .244/.305/.422 as one of the lower hitters in the lineup, which shows the team's depth.

Marsh has been a positive base-runner (1.6 BsR) and hitter (2.4 Offensive Rating). He's also added good defense (0.7 Defensive Rating) to make him one of the better all-around players in the lineup.

Preseason picks looked directly at the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers as the teams to beat in the National League, overlooking a team that had gone to two straight NLCS series.

Thus far, thanks to a wide variety of hitters, including Marsh, the Phillies are the team to beat in all of baseball. No team has been better, and they will look to continue the good times the rest of the way.
