Roy Halladay’s jersey should be one of the most popular jerseys in the Philadelphia area in 2011. He joined the Phillies in 2010 and couldn’t have pitched much better than he did. He won 21 games and took them to the World Series. He also threw two no-hitters in 2010. The Phillies now have the best starting pitching rotation in the majors, having added Cliff Lee back to their team in 2011. An argument has to be made that the Phillies won’t repeat as the champions. of the National League in 2011 with Halladay at the helm. . The only thing the Phillies have to do a better job of in 2011 is scoring more runs when Halladay pitches. Towards the end of the season, the Phillies scored just 2 runs in two of Halladay’s two losses. When the Phillies score 5 runs or more, it’s a very good indication that Halladay will pitch well enough to win the game.

Roy Halladay also appears to be a durable pitcher. He is going to rest for four days and is usually very strong. He does this all season and so far in his career he has avoided any major arm problems. He has a fluid delivery and blends his shots very well, and this creates less stress on his arm and shoulder. He has averaged about 250 innings pitched over the past three years. He also averaged just over 200 strikeouts per year and only about 36 walks per year. His earned run average over the last three years has been around 2.75 per game. He also completes around 9 games a year.

Halladay was a great pick for the Phillies and should pay them big dividends for years to come. He is very popular with Phillies fans ever since he joined the team. He is a leader both on and off the field and if you bought his jersey, you would be right at home in Philly.
