Daily News | Phillies acquire reliever Yunior Marté from Giants for left-hander Erik Miller
The Phillies acquired right-handed pitcher Yunior Marté from the San Francisco Giants on Monday for left-handed pitcher Erik Miller.Last month during a media availability at baseball’s winter meetings, manager Rob Thomson mentioned the importance of having pitchers who still have minor league options available, and Marté fits that description.
Marté posted a 5.44 ERA with a 20.6% strikeout rate and a 10.3% walk rate in 48 innings with the Giants last season. He pitched better down the stretch with a 1.93 ERA in his final eight outings. He began his season with triple-A Sacramento, where he posted a 3.16 ERA and a 0.70 WHIP in 25 outings. He was used most in the seventh and eighth innings.Will Craig Kimbrel reemerge as a closer for the Phillies? His ‘twin’, Billy Wagner, believes he can.
The Phillies see Marté as a pitcher who can come up and help in short stints. They like his velocity — his fastball ranks in the 94th percentile in baseball — but also the rest of his repertoire, particularly his slider. The Phillies’ coaching staff has identified some tweaks to his fastball usage that they believe will help Marté.
Miller, 24, was a fourth-round pick in the 2019 draft and struggled with injuries during his minor league career. He went 2-1 with a 2.51 ERA in 48 games played over three seasons in the Phillies’ minor league system, including 19 starts. Miller most recently pitched at triple-A Lehigh Valley, where he posted a 7.50 ERA in 12 relief innings. He showed promising stuff but struggled with command issues, in addition to his injury history.
