Things looked very bleak for the Philadelphia Phillies after it was announced that their ace Zack Wheeler would miss the rest of the 2025 season. He finished 2025 with a 10-5 record, 2.71 ERA, 0.935 WHIP and 195 strikeouts over 149 2/3 innings pitched. The three lefties in the Phillies' rotation have picked up where Zack Wheeler left off as the best pitching staff in MLBSomething clicked for this team in a way that Phillies fans were unsure was possible. That combines for an impressive 2.42 ERA, 1.032 WHIP and 116 strikeouts over 93 innings pitched. Luckily for the Phillies, it's coming straight from their rotation, especially Sánchez, who is gunning for that nomination this fall.
