Pitching is still a concern for the Philadelphia Phillies heading into the 2021 season. While they added a few pieces — including Archie Bradley and Jose Alvarado — the starting rotation has some question marks. Aaron Nola is the bonafide ace, while Zack Wheeler looked like a strong No. 2 during the shortened 2020 season. After that, there are concerns.

Zach Eflin has shown flashes of excellence, but has to be more consistent throughout the season.
