It is not a stretch to state almost as a matter of fact: starting pitching depth is a myth.
It is also not a stretch to state that the Phillies have something that resembles starting pitching depth. Blessed with one of, if not the, best starting pitchers in the sport in Zack Wheeler, a top option as a second starter in Aaron Nola, a breakout pitching performance that many would like to see a repeat of before believing in in Cristopher Sanchez, a pitcher that has performed as a number two starter when he’s been able to stay on the mound in Ranger Suarez and the promise of one of the top pitching prospects in the game in Andrew Painter, the Phillies are the envy of many teams around the game.
