"Gillispie, 28, has 34 innings of big league experience between the Guardians and Marlins. He has featured a five-pitch mix including a low-90s four-seamer in addition to a cutter, sweeper, changeup and curveball. Unfortunately, he has allowed 25 earned runs in that time, 7.15 per nine innings."
"The Phils start the season somewhat shaky in the rotation. Zack Wheeler is trying to work his way back from last year's thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. If he starts the season on the injured list, the Phils will open the campaign with Cristopher Sánchez, Jesús Luzardo, and Taijuan Walker in four spots."
"In 2024, he logged 113 1/3 Triple-A innings with a 4.05 ERA. His 10.1% walk rate was a bit high but he was able to punch out one quarter of the batters he faced."
The Phillies signed right-hander Connor Gillispie to a minor league contract. Gillispie, 28, has 34 innings of major league experience with the Guardians and Marlins, featuring a five-pitch mix but posting a 7.15 ERA. His strikeout, walk, and ground ball rates all fell below league average. After being designated for assignment by Miami in June, he cycled through the Twins organization before becoming a free agent. While he struggled in the minors last year with a 7.23 ERA, he posted a 4.05 ERA over 113 1/3 Triple-A innings in 2024. The Phillies face rotation depth issues with Zack Wheeler recovering from surgery and inconsistent performance from other starters.
