In today's episode, Connor evaluates Taijuan Walker's 2023 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, his 1st in a Phils uniform. First, the numbers for the regular season don't look exceptional, but the win total ended up being outstanding. How in the world did Walker win 15 games, but seem to struggle statistically at points? Next, why was Walker not used in the team's 2023 postseason run, and does he have a reason to be upset that he wasn't utilized by manager Rob Thomson at any point? Finally, with a strange finish to the season for Walker, what does his role look like as he returns to the team in 2024?
