The Phillies have pitching needs entering 2018. Looking back at past eras, we take a look at the best Phillies pitchers of the 1990’s.
With the Phillies in need of bolstering the pitching staff for the 2018 season, we look back at the top pitchers from past eras. Here are the top pitchers to wear the red pinstripes during the 1990’s.
10 – Paul Byrd (1998 -2000)
Byrd was quite successful during his eight games in 1998 after coming over from the Braves, going 5-2 with a 2.29 ERA. He continued to pitch well through most of 1999, earning an All-Star berth. Bryd finished the season with 15 wins and a 4.60 ERA. Although Byrd struggled in 2000, he was solid enough in 1998 and 1999 to earn a place on this list.
9 – Larry Andersen (1983 – 1986, 1993 – 1994)
Andersen had two productive stints with the Phillies, but makes this list for his contributions to the 1993 NL championship team. He went 3-2 with a 2.92 ERA in 64 games, striking out 67 in 61 2/3 innings. After his retirement, Andersen has become a successful radio broadcaster covering the team.
