2022 season preview: the bullpen

The Phillies bullpen has been such a disaster the last few seasons, it’s become a meme. The 2021 bullpen usage looked like this (minimum of 12 IP).

*Excludes innings pitched as an “opener”

Hector Neris (74.1 innings pitched), Connor Brogdon (56.2), Jose Alvarado (55.2), Archie Bradley (51), Ranger Suarez (40.1), Sam Coonrod (40.0), Bailey Falter (31.2), Brandon Kintzler (28.2), Enyel De Los Santos (28.0), Ian Kennedy (24.0), David Hale (23.2), J.D. Hammer (20.0), Matt Moore (16.2), Cristopher Sanchez (12.1)

Two of the top four from 2021 have signed elsewhere. Ranger Suarez has moved into the starting rotation after a dominant second half of 2021 as a starter.
