As the calendar reads a little over a year since the Dodgers claimed the right-handed pitcher off waivers, it’s safe to say that the Evan Phillips experience has been an unbridled success. Heading into the final stretch of the regular season, EP has become one of Dave Roberts’ most trusted arms out of the bullpen.
This season, the 27-year-old reliever has pitched in 48 games after Friday night’s latest appearance. As you can see, the numbers are quite impressive…
Roberts decided to select Phillips over Craig Kimbrel to close the game which might have shocked some people but also might have brought some relief to others.
