Jeurys Familia agrees with the Philadelphia Phillies

Although the New York Mets were interested in renewing him, JeurysFamily he goes to the Philadelphia Phillies for a season. It should be noted that said team has been interested in strengthening its bullpen and it is getting it in the MLB 2022.

The contract is expected to be $6 million to $7 million, according to Mike Puma.

Familia is coming off 2021 where he went 9-4 with a 3.94 ERA, striking out 72 in 59.1 innings. He was particularly effective against right-handed hitters, holding them to a .231 batting average and a .698 OPS in the MLB.

JeurysFamily he has a lot of late-inning experience, saving 51 games for the Mets in 2016. He hasn’t been a closer since 2018, but he pitched about 51 times in the seventh inning or later in 2021.

Now the right-hander is going for his third team in the Majors, he has played for the Oakland Athletics and the Mets, now he has to face a new chapter.

The right-hander was somewhat susceptible to the long ball, allowing a career-high 10 home runs (all but one coming from the pitch of Familia, his sinker). But his material overall, which includes a four-seam fastball averaging 97 mph, offers an intriguing package.
