Blake Parker

The veteran righty was one of the Phillies' best relievers last season, though that's not saying much for a unit that produced a historically poor 7.06 ERA. Parker was quite good in his 16 innings, however, posting a 2.81 ERA, his best mark since 2017. In his age-35 season, he produced a career-high 36.2 K%, up more than 10 ticks from his 25.5% mark in 2019, though it did come with a 13.0 BB%, his worst mark since his six-inning debut back in 2012. The fact that he struck out so many batters despite his fastball velocity coming in at a modest 90.7 mph, down nearly three ticks from a high of 93.5 mph in 2017, is quite impressive, and likely owes to his career-high splitter usage, a pitch he used 42.2% of the time. Parker appears likely to remain a useful bullpen arm this season and could add a small number to his 34 career saves, though he wouldn't be a primary closing option for many teams.
