The starting rotation was a big weakness for the Philadelphia Phillies last season. As 2020 approaches, the team will look for contributions from its biggest offseason acquisition to help strengthen the pitching staff.
The Phillies signed former New York Mets starter Zack Wheeler for five years and $118 million this past December. This signing was an intriguing one for the Phillies for several reasons. For starters, Wheeler is already an upgrade to the team’s rotation. But there is also a school of thought that he could potentially improve as a pitcher because of his top-notch velocity and stuff.
