2023 Chachi #40 Erich Uelmen


#47
Erich William Uelmen
Relief Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'3"  Weight:  195
Opening Day Age:  26
Born:  May 19, 1996, Las Vegas, NV
Acquired:  Purchased by the Phillies from the Chicago Cubs, January 4, 2023
Contract Status:  Arbitration eligible, 2026
Major League Teams:  Chicago Cubs 2022; Philadelphia Phillies 2023

Erich Uelmen pitched in 25 games last season for the Cubs, all in relief, going 2-1 with a 4.67 and a save in the process.  He started the season with the IronPigs and was recalled on May 16th when Bailey Falter lost his spot in the starting pitching rotation.  Uelmen appeared in one game with the Phillies, pitching one inning on May 19th against his former team, the Cubs.  It did not go well.  He faced eight batters, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk and his current Phillies' ERA is an unattractive 36.00.  The following day, Uelmen would be sent back down to Lehigh Valley with Yunior Marte taking his place in the bullpen.

Uelmen is currently on the 60-day Injured List with the IronPigs, so he may need to wait until next year to improve upon his Phillies ERA.
