Grading Phillies RHP Jake Arrieta’s 2020 season
His days as an ace are far behind him, but Jake Arrieta was a capable number four starter for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2020.
The best thing that I can say about Arrieta’s 2020 season is that it was no worse than I expected. In 2018 and 2019, the Phillies counted on Arrieta to be their No. 2 starter, and he disappointed. However, in 2020 Arrieta only needed to be the No. 4.
