The Philadelphia Phillies had an incredible run last postseason that saw them end up in the World Series.
They came from the sixth and final playoff spot in the NL to win the pennant.
Even though they came up short in the World Series, they still gave their fans a memorable run.
The Phillies celebrated their season by giving the players NL championship rings.
One player who played a major role in their playoff success was pitcher Zach Eflin.
He came out of the bullpen for most of their playoff run and was a consistent arm.
Eflin pitched 10.2 innings in the postseason for the Phillies and had an ERA of 3.38.
But he entered free agency after last year and signed a contract with the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Phillies and Rays are meeting up for a three-game series this week in Tampa and Eflin was given his ring.
As shared by Tricia Whitaker, Phillies manager Rob Thomson presented Eflin with the ring.

While the Phillies were unable to achieve their ultimate goal they deserve to celebrate the season they had.
Now that Eflin has moved on, he is having one of the best seasons of his career.
The Rays have unlocked something in Eflin allowing him to dominate on the mound.
He has an ERA of 3.24 on the year and a record of 9-4.
Also, he has struck out 100 batters in 97.1 innings.
The 2022 Phillies will be a team forever remembered in Philadelphia and Eflin played a major role in that.
