Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin is known for being one of the more reliable arms in the organization ever since he was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for franchise hits leader Jimmy Rollins.

Eflin is currently training at a facility down in Jupiter, Florida, counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report to Clearwater in a few days. In a recent Baseballtown Charities Phillies Winter Tour interview, the five-year veteran said he is looking forward to when the team gets back and spends a bunch of time together.
