The Jose Alvarado Philadelphia Phillies are one of the best teams in baseball. The Phillies are looking to improve their bullpen this year and Alvarado could help them do that. Alvarado has been a solid pitcher in his first two seasons with the team. He threw 93.2 innings and struck out 109 batters, posting a 2.79 ERA and a 2.36 FIP. However, in his third season, Alvarado struggled with injuries and a family hardship that prevented him from pitching well. In addition, he only pitched 30 innings and allowed 18 runs, walking 27 batters while striking out 39. Despite these problems, Alvarado did strike out some batters, but his control was not good.
