2019 Phillies in review: Edgar Garcia

39 IP, 5.77 ERA (6.57 FIP), 26.2 K%, 15.1 BB%, 2.54 HR/9, -0.6 fWAR

The good:

While those numbers don’t exactly show it, there were a few things that Garcia did well this year.

Let’s start with that slider. If you dig deep enough, you can see it was actually a positive pitch for him. Among rookie relievers that threw 30+ innings this year, his slider was actually ranked in the top half in terms of pitch value (I told you you had to dig deep). It did, from time to time, get some swings and misses.
