MLB Sends Zack Wheeler Message After Phillies Game
Philadelphia Phillies right-handed starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is in his eleventh major-league season after debuting with the division rival New York Mets in 2013.

Now in his sixth season with the Phillies—after five years with the Mets—Wheeler has compiled a 67–35 record in Philadelphia, cementing his status as the team's ace.
He's earned All-Star Game appearances in 2021 and 2024, finishing as the NL Cy Young runner-up in both seasons.
In the postseason, Wheeler has elevated to another level, posting a 4–3 record with a 2.18 ERA and 77 strikeouts in 12 career postseason appearances, quickly becoming a fan favorite and the most dependable arm in the rotation.

After another exceptional outing against the San Diego Padres in a 4-0 victory on Monday, MLB highlighted Wheeler's June performance.

The league wrote, 'Zack Wheeler finishes the month of June with an ERA of 0.58.'
Wheeler's combined ERA in May and June stands at 1.43, with six of those earned runs coming in a single start, his only blemish over the past two months. In his other nine starts he has allowed just four earned runs (a 0.63 ERA), marking one of the best stretches of his career.
This season is shaping up as the best of his career: he's in contention for his first NL Cy Young Award and has powered the Phillies' 50–35 charge to the top of the NL East.
In March 2024, the 35-year-old veteran signed a three-year, $126 million extension with the Phillies and has made clear his intention to retire when the deal concludes.
