However, Hamels was plagued by injuries the next two seasons, pitching only sparingly. He missed most of the 2004 season with an elbow injury. In 2005, he broke his pitching hand in a bar fight before the season began, and once he recovered, then hurt his back, and was shut down for the rest of the season.
In 2006, a healthy Hamels started again at Clearwater, and after a brief stint at Double-A Reading was sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where in just three games, he struck out 36 batters while giving up only one walk and one run. His minor league totals were 14–4, with 273 strikeouts in 35 games pitched.
On July 1, 2007, he was named to the NL All Star Team for the first time. On August 22, Hamels was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a mild left elbow strain. On September 28, he pitched the Phillies into first place by striking out 13 Washington Nationals over 8 innings in a 6–0 win.
Hamels finished with an impressive regular season record of 15–5.
Hamels led the Phillies throughout the first month of the season in most pitching categories, including wins (3), ERA (2.70), and innings pitched (43⅓). Continuing his dominance into May, Hamels recorded his first career complete game shutout against the Atlanta Braves on the 15th of that month.
Less than one month later, Hamels followed with a repeat of that complete game, beating the Reds, 5–0, on June 5. Though the Phillies were a picture of inconsistency through June, posting a long streak of wins followed by a prolonged team-wide slump, Hamels posted a 3–1 record and a 2.61 ERA in the month.
For the season, Hamels was 14–10 with a 3.09 ERA; he had the lowest OBP-against in the majors, .272. He was also judged as having the most effective changeup in the majors.
Hamels pitched in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers, pitching eight strong innings and striking out nine while notching his first career playoff win. He was named the MVP of the National League Championship Series, going 2–0 in the NLCS with a 1.93 ERA, winning the series clincher on October 15 in Los Angeles. He also recorded the win in Game 1 of the World Series, surrendering two runs in seven innings of work. Overall, Hamels made five postseason starts in 2008, going 4–0 with a 1.80 ERA.
Hamels was named Most Valuable Player of the 2008 World Series, making him only the fifth player to win two post-season MVP awards in the same year. The previous double-winners were Willie Stargell in 1979, Darrell Porter in 1982, Orel Hershiser in 1988 and Liván Hernández in 1997.
Yeah, you might as well go ahead and pencil him in[...] I don't think there's any sense in me playing games. Go ahead, pencil him in.
However, Hamels left training camp on March 16 and flew to Philadelphia to have his left elbow examined by Dr. Michael Ciccotti. Hamels felt tightness in between innings and after he was done pitching for the day. "This will obviously set me back a couple of days, and I don't think that should be a big deal", said Hamels. Ciccotti found no structural damage in his arm. Hamels did not pitch on Opening Day, even though no structural damage was evident. Hamels posted a 10–11 record and a 4.32 ERA in the regular season, his first major league season in which he posted a sub-.500 record, and the worst ERA of his career to that point. However, Hamels' strikeout, walk, line drive, ground ball and fly ball rates all remained similar, while his home run rate saw an increase of .01 home runs allowed per nine innings pitched. Hamels's fielding-independent pitching also remained the same from 2008 to 2009 at 3.72, with Hamels' batting average on balls in play increasing from .270 to .325. Sabermetricians such as Tom Tango and Rob Neyer have disputed the common belief that something was wrong with Hamels during the 2009 season. Baseball Prospectus' Matt Swartz went deeper into the statistics, checking marks such as percentage of strikes thrown, percentage of balls hit to the outfield, percentage of pitches fouled, missed, pulled, hit to center, and hit to the opposite field, as well as percentage of hitters with two strikes that he struck out.
Hamels started the second game of the 2009 National League Division Series, allowing four earned runs through five innings to take the loss. The Phillies, however, won the series, three games to one. Hamels earned the win in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, as the Phillies beat the Dodgers, 8–6. Hamels started Game 3 of the World Series against the New York Yankees, pitching innings, allowing 5 earned runs and taking the loss.
