Gregory Soto’s first season in Philadelphia could easily be described as one of extremes. The lefty reliever alternated between strong months and disastrous ones, often following a string of dominant performance with an epic blowup. In the months of April, June, and September, Soto had a combined ERA of 2.51 in 37 appearances. In the other months of May, July, and August, Soto had a combined 7.07 ERA in 32 games. All of this resulted in a season ERA of 4.62, the highest since Soto’s rookie year in 2019.
But if you look further, Soto’s non-ERA numbers didn’t really stray too far off from what he did in 2022 when he was an All-Star closer for the Detroit Tigers.
