McFarlane Rising: Phillies' New Bullpen Hope | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
The Phillies’ young pitching gem Alex McFarlane is heating up fast, flashing elite stuff and confidence as he steps into big-league spotlight. Drafted in 2022, the 25-year-old dominated at Double-A with a 2.06 ERA and 12 saves, then impressed in his MLB debut with a scoreless inning—bringing his season ERA down to just 0.79. Sure, he gave up three runs to Ronald Acuña Jr., but his overall mark sits at 2.84 in 13 appearances. Teammate Alec Bohm raves about his 100 mph fastball and growing poise. With the bullpen’s shaky history and playoffs looming, McFarlane might be the unexpected spark the Phillies need to turn things around.
