Jhoan Duran Lights Out Again

Jhoan Duran is lighting up the Phillies bullpen like a beacon in the ninth inning, converting 14 of 14 save chances — sixth in the NL — even after missing nearly three weeks with an oblique injury. His clutch returns, including six saves in just two weeks, have been the difference-maker when the offense stalls, keeping Philly above .500. Manager Don Mattingly raves about his reliability, comparing him to Kenley Jansen and saying Duran’s presence makes him feel like the game’s already won. What makes Duran elite? Five confident pitches, including a new split-change, that keep hitters off-balance in high-leverage moments. In a game where velocity alone isn’t enough, Duran’s variety and poise are exactly what the Phillies need to close out wins. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
