The Phillies have assembled a bullpen full of fireballers

Yunior Marte was acquired by the Phillies from the Giants on Monday. He is a hard-throwing reliever with a fastball velocity of 97.7 MPH.

The Phillies have a lot of fireballers in their bullpen. Jose Alvarado, Gregory Soto, Seranthony Dominguez, Nick Nelson, Sam Coonrod and Craig Kimbrel are the most powerful pitchers. They have almost all 100+ MPH pitches. The newest addition Yunior Marte has a fastball that averages 97.7 MPH. He had a good season in Triple-A. Craig Kimbrel needs 6 more saves to reach 400. Connor Brogdon is the last Phillie to average 95+ mph on their fastball. His last season he had an ERA of 3.27.

Phillies vs. Brewers Prediction, Picks, Odds: Wednesday, 7/19

The Philadelphia Phillies keep winning. Their one-run victory on Tuesday night marked the fourth straight victory, and they've now overtaken the Miami Marlins for the third National League wildcard spot. Win streaks can't last forever, right? I'm betting this one ends on Wednesday. The Phillies are a tad overvalued, and shouldn't be such a large…

Phillies vs. Dodgers prediction, odds: Dodgers injured lineup opens value on underdog Phillies

It's not the start either team wanted, as our Phillies vs. Dodgers prediction comes with both teams sitting at 15-13 after the season's first month. The Phillies' offense struggled in the early going, and their rotation has been mediocre. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are dealing with injuries, paternity leave and other personnel issues. While both teams…

Ranger Suárez setback leaves Phillies scrambling for starters. Taijuan Walker to the rescue?

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The good news is that Taijuan Walker says he's ready to give the Phillies some serious innings. The bad news? They're probably going to need more than he can offer. It has been an eventful spring from the back of the Phillies rotation, and it showed no sign of evening out on Wednesday as Ranger Suárez had a scheduled bullpen…

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- The reigning National League champion Phillies spent the offseason solidifying their roster to the point where they entered Spring Training with seemingly only a few position battles.

Takeaways from the Phillies’ trade for Gregory Soto

It isn't a secret. Not after more than three decades of building major-league rosters. When it comes to pitching, Dave Dombrowski has a type. "I've always believed in power arms," he said two years ago after getting hired to head up the Phillies' baseball operations. "That's something I grew up with in the White Sox organization. We had a lot of…

The Phillies Get to Spin the Craig Kimbrel Wheel

Our story begins in June of 2019, when the Cubs took a chance on a still-unsigned Craig Kimbrel. What happened next can only be described as a disaster. Kimbrel gave up a preposterous number of home runs, almost single-handedly causing the Cubs to miss the playoffs. He didn't show any signs of improvement the following season, and his once lustrous…

Best Bets for World Series Game 5: Houston Astros vs Philadelphia Phillies

Jose Alvarado may not pitch after throwing 22 pitches, but he also didn't throw in game three, so we should see him in a lefty-lefty matchup. Seranthony Dominguez hasn't pitched since Game 2, and none of the high-quality relievers in the Phillies bullpen threw more than 15 pitches yesterday. These bullpens have been fantastic, and I have no reason…

MLB final: Bullpen, bats seal 6-5 victory for Giants over Diamondbacks

As the old saying goes: "I'd rather be dead in California than alive in Arizona" whether that rings true for you or not, I think Carlos Rodón vibes with that sentiment as of late. The pitcher has made two starts in Phoenix and neither of them have gone particularly well, which includes a lot of huffing and puffing and verbal processing avec…
