Last season, Harang pitched for the Atlanta Braves and posted a 3.57 ERA. He also had a 12-12 record with 204.1 innings pitched and 161 strikeouts. If the Phillies could add a pitcher like Harang to the back-end of the rotation, it will give them much-needed stability. The last time Harang had .500 record or better was the 2012 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
With the Dodgers, Harang posted a 10-10 record with a 3.61 ERA and 131 strikeouts in 179.2 innings pitched.
