Phillies Release Drew Anderson

By Jeff Todd | September 4, 2019 at 8:28pm CDT

The Phillies announced today that they have released right-hander Drew Anderson after he cleared waivers. He had been designated for assignment recently.

Anderson, a 25th-round pick in 2012, has had success at times as a starter in the upper minors. But he has struggled in limited MLB action, coughing up 18 earned runs on 29 hits in 21 total frames.

It has been a rough overall campaign for Anderson, who has been sidelined since late June and was ineffective before that. Over 11 starts at the Triple-A level, he managed only a 5.77 ERA with 7.4 K/9 against 5.0 BB/9.

    He should have gone to College. 21 round and in the minors is a hard life.

    Typical Phillies hype kid up (“great stuff, wipe-out curve, knows how to pitch) then fail to develop him.

      he really was never that hyped. topped out at the back end of the top-30. and I don’t see how its the organization’s failure or he was simply not that great to begin with.

    Typical Phillies pitcher, touches 90 with his “fastball”.

    This site once had a podcast and when Cole Hamels was getting close to being traded to Texas the Rangers beat writer was a guest. He said” The discussions have been strange. Most organizations are interested in pitchers who throw hard, but not the Phillies.”

    Then he burst out laughing.
