Connor Brogdon Stats

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Connor Brogdon was asked to take the ball during the 10th inning of Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies didn't have too many options left with Seranthony Dominguez, Brad Hand, and Jose Alvarado being used already in this contest. That being said, Brogdon was given the chance to close out the game with a two-run lead. He did a fine job, allowing no hits and striking out one batter in the win. It was his first save of the season, but it's surprising he hasn't been given more chances with how well he has pitched this season. The right-hander currently holds a 2.05 ERA through 24 appearances. Possibly, Brogdon gets more high leverage spots down the road, but he can continue to be ignored in most fantasy formats right now.

The Philadelphia Phillies optioned relief pitchers Connor Brogdon and Damon Jones to Triple-A on Thursday. The team added a pair of fellow relievers to the roster in corresponding moves. Andrew Bellatti was called up from Triple-A and James Norwood was reinstated from the bereavement list. Brogdon allowed two earned runs over 2/3 of an inning in his last appearance. He was a solid bullpen arm for the team last year, appearing in 56 games and tallying 11 holds while pitching to a 3.43ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. Jones, meanwhile, was off to a rough start to the year, allowing four earned runs over 2 2/3 innings.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Connor Brogdon has raised some alarms this spring, primarily based on his velocity dipping substantially. The right-hander has seen his fastball sitting around 92-93 mph this spring. Last spring, the pitch was sitting in the 94-95 mph range while topping out at 96 mph. He's appeared in three spring games and pitched 2 1/3 innings. Over those innings, he's allowed five hits, four walks and four earned runs while striking out two. The team has been observing him closely over the past few days, but according to Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, he is back on a normal pitching program and he will pitch in the team's spring game against the Pirates on Tuesday. Coffey notes that Brogdon says he feels good physically and that he believes he's ready for Opening Day.
