⚾ The Phillies have locked down their lock down reliever Seranthony Domínguez. ringthebell
The 28-year-old Dominguez enters 2023 in the mix to close games for the Phillies. He saved nine last season and 16 as a rookie. The Phils have built a deep bullpen that includes plenty of late-inning options in Dominguez, Jose Alvarado, Craig Kimbrel, Gregory Soto, Matt Strahm, Andrew Bellatti and Connor Brogdon. Manager Rob Thomson likely won't name a closer unless someone seizes the job in camp or early in the regular season, instead playing matchups and the hot hand.
Dominguez is quite a success story for the Phillies' international scouting department. They signed him out of his native Dominican Republic for just $25,000 in October 2011. Seven years later, he debuted in the majors and made an immediate impact for the Phillies. The next season, 2019, he didn't look the same and was shut down after 27 appearances with an elbow injury.
