714 men have pitched in relief for the Philadelphia Phillies. Of those 714, only five have accumulated more fWAR than Hector Neris (4.3). With 0.9 fWAR in 2021, Neris could overtake Gene Garber and Jonathan Paplebon, and he would then trail only Ron Reed, Tug McGraw, and Ryan Madson (all World Series champions with the Phillies). If this is Hector’s last season in red pinstripes, he will have certainly left his mark on the organization.
But is 0.9 fWAR a reasonable expectation for Hector Neris in 2021? If you look at his ERA, he was pretty bad last year.
