Zach Eflin appears to be making the leap from roster filler to impact starting pitcher. This is not something anyone would have predicted back in spring training, but it's also something that maybe could have been predicted if you know Eflin's history.
The third-year right-hander for the Phillies baffled the Yankees on Wednesday with seven scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and only one runner to reach second base as the Phillies won 3-0. He improved to 6-2 with a 3.02 ERA in 10 starts, mixed in four quality pitches and hit his spots while changing eye levels with his fastball.
