"He's just on the corners with power stuff, it's incredible. "With deGrom doing what he's doing, it doesn't get talked about enough because deGrom has been amazing historically, but what our guy's doing is Cy Young, MVP, it's all of it. "It's amazing," Brad Miller said of watching Wheeler. He has a 0.95 ERA in 85 innings with 136 strikeouts and 47 baserunners allowed. In his last start, deGrom allowed three first-inning runs to the Braves but was untouchable from there and struck out 14. Wheeler's excellence has been recognized but every pitcher in the National League this season has taken a backseat to Jacob deGrom, who is having one of the best years ever for a pitcher. Here's how the two have performed since Cole signed for an additional $206 million: Gerrit Cole signed a nine-year, $324 million contract with the Yankees a week after Wheeler signed with the Phillies. He had a 2.92 ERA in 11 starts in the shortened 2020 season and has been significantly better this year. Wheeler has exceeded expectations since signing a five-year, $118 million contract with the Phillies in December 2019. I can tell my son and future kids I was an All-Star. This is pretty cool, right? This is one of the biggest ones besides Cy Young or something like that. I don't even think I've won anything since I've been in the big leagues, no Player of the Week or Month or whatever it may be. But to be this consistent for this long means a lot to me also.
“But yeah, to actually go out there, I've always kind of struggled the first half or the first couple months, I always kind of shot it down kind of quick. It's kind of what you dream about growing up,” Wheeler said Sunday. He's averaged just under seven innings per game for a team that has seldom been able to get through the eighth and ninth unscathed. On Friday night against a loaded Padres lineup, Wheeler made his MLB-leading fifth start of the season of at least seven scoreless innings. He leads the majors with 114 innings and 139 strikeouts. He has had a Cy Young-caliber first half with a 2.05 ERA through 17 starts. Wheeler making his first All-Star team was a no-brainer. They were selected by a combination of player ballots and choices made by the commissioner’s office. Realmuto is headed to Coors Field as well.īoth Phillies were named to the NL squad Sunday night. The headliner headed to Miami in this move was prospect Sixto Sanchez.It seemed like the Phillies might have only one All-Star representative in Zack Wheeler, but J.T. So far, the trade is an easy win for the Phillies. In a rather quiet offseason move prior to the lockout, he was purchased by the San Diego Padres from the Marlins where he’ll join a young and exciting ball club in an undetermined role. 244/.283/.342 this past season in 311 trips to the plate.Ī below-average catcher, the Marlins have tried moving him out to left field. You may recall catcher Jorge Alfaro was the replacement for Realmuto down in Miami.Īlfaro had a nice year in 2019, batting. One guy in the trade played for the major league club immediately. Stewart’s future as a big leaguer remains in question. Slightly better, he was 5-8 with a 4.33 ERA. When minor league baseball resumed in 2021, he logged 99.2 innings in Double-A. In 2019, Stewart was 6-12 with a 5.43 ERA in 129.1 innings of work-mostly as a starter.
A young lefty pitcher drafted in the 20th round out of high school, Stewart hasn’t been so lucky in his two seasons in the Miami Marlins farm system. Will Stewart was the least-talked-about piece in this deal aside from the international bonus slot money. But what about the three players the Phillies traded in order to get him? Checking in on the three youngsters the Philadelphia Phillies traded for J.T. He remains one of the most efficient players at his position both at the plate and with a glove on his hand. Realmuto has, thus far, been about where we should have expected him to be. And while they had to re-sign him last winter to a huge deal to keep him, I don’t think it would have been so possible without first having the Philadelphia experience. The trade that first brought Realmuto to the Phillies prior to the 2019 campaign didn’t come for free.
