Fellow TBOH contributor John Town gave Zach Eflin a B- grade after the 2018 season, which I would say is an unfortunate grade for how good he looked in the middle of the season. Zach Eflin began the Phillies’ 2018 campaign drawing the short straw, not joining the rotation until Ben Lively got injured in April.
Even after Eflin got the call, he stumbled out of the gate in May, going 1-2 in five starts with an ERA of 4.50. In June, Eflin showed why he was drafted in the first round by San Diego in 2012.
