Blue Jays" during the
World War II era.[3] Since the franchise's inception, 2,081 players have made an appearance in a competitive game for the team, whether as an offensive player (

strikeouts are the most by a player on this list,[18] while
Ken Heintzelman and
Bill Hubbell lead with 55 defeats each.[19][20]Tom Hilgendorf has the lowest
earned run average (ERA) among pitchers, with a 2.14 mark;[21] the only player to best Hilgendorf in that category on this list is Holke, a first baseman, who made one pitching appearance in 1979, throwing 1⁄3 inning and allowing no runs (a 0.00 ERA).[13]Roy Halladay is one of the ten Phillies pitchers who have
thrown a no-hitter, and the only man to accomplish the feat twice; in Halladay's first season with Philadelphia, he pitched a
perfect game on May 29, 2010, and later became the second player to pitch a
no-hitter in the
postseason on October 6, 2010.[22]
