Former Phillies pitcher Luis Garcia embodied the rebuild of 2013-2018. He had bright spots that looked like a bright future. We asked if he could be part of the next group of Phillies.
He also looked like the worst reliever on planet Earth.
His ERA fluctuated harder than a wild roller coaster. From 2013-2018, Garcia’s ERA progressed as such:
3.73, 6.43, 3.51, 6.46, 2.65, 6.07
Those peaks and valleys are comparable to Mount Everest versus the Mariana Trench. In 2017, this man put up a 22-inning scoreless streak. His longest streak in 2016 couldn’t even get to 4 innings.
