Similar to Tommy Hunter, the Phillies relied heavily on Pat Neshek being a part of the 2019 bullpen, however, injuries ultimately limited him to just 20 appearances, including just 30 appearances the season prior.

Neshek had much success his first go-around with the Phillies, a 1.12 ERA; since has been anything but, including posting a 5.00 ERA in 18 innings this past season.

The 39-year-old underwent surgery on his left hamstring in early September, forgoing another round of platelet-rich plasma treatment. On October 31, the Phillies declined Neshek’s $7 million club option for 2020.

The two-time All-Star, submarine throwing right-hander was the eighth-oldest active player in the 2018 season, and the fourth-oldest in 2019.
