Episode Details

Alex McFarlane, the Phillies’ 25-year-old pitching prospect, is making waves in his MLB debut with elite stuff, a 100 mph fastball, and a dominant strikeout arsenal. Drafted in the fourth round in 2022, he’s already posted a 2.84 ERA in 13 appearances after a stellar Double-A run and key scoreless innings against Atlanta. Though he stumbled in one outing, his confidence is soaring — and teammate Alec Bohm is raving about his “elite” arm and growing poise. With the Phillies’ bullpen historically shaky in the playoffs, McFarlane could be the quiet game-changer they need to turn postseason pressure into momentum.
