Orion Kerkering shot up through the Phillies minor league system in 2023, starting the season at Low-A Clearwater and ending the season in the NLCS. He began the 2024 season on the injured list, but was activated in mid-April, taking his spot at the back-end of the Phillies' bullpen. Reliable throughout the regular season, Kerkering was 5-3 with a 2.29 ERA in 64 appearances and 63 innings pitched. He pitched in all four games of the NLDS against the Mets, and while his ERA was a respectable 2.45 in the series, Kerkering painfully allowed four of five inherited runners to score. He'll be back in the revamped bullpen in 2025.
