The Philadelphia Phillies begin the 1925 pennant race with a largely intact catching staff and a flurry of new outfielders and pitchers. Veteran arms flank a rookie-heavy bullpen while Will Wontell and Grant oversee pitching, with Ulrich, Fillman, O Neill, and Pierce among notable new hurlers. The club opens March 2 in Bradenton, Florida, chasing steady defensive support from Henline, Wilson, and Wendel.
