Philadelphia Phillies[]

Llovera signed with the Philadelphia Phillies as an international free agent on February 12, 2015.[1] He played for the Venezuelan Summer League Phillies in 2015, going 2–4 with a 3.23 earned run average (ERA) over 47+1⁄3 innings.[1] Llovera spent the 2016 season with the Gulf Coast League Phillies, going 7–1 with a 1.87 ERA over 53 innings.[1]

He played the 2017 season with the Lakewood BlueClaws, going 2–4 with a 3.35 ERA over 86 innings.[1] Llovera spent the 2018 season with the Clearwater Threshers, going 8–7 with a 3.72 ERA over 121 innings, with 137 strikeouts.[2]

Llovera was added to the Phillies 40–man roster following the 2019 season.[5] He was promoted to the major leagues for the first time on September 6, 2020, and made his debut that day against the New York Mets.

On August 7, 2021, pitching against the Mets with the Phillies leading 5–0, Llovera became only the second pitcher in baseball history, the other being B.J. Rosenberg, to give up three straight home runs without recording a single out.[6] However, the Phillies won the game 5–3.[7] In 6 games for the Phillies in 2021, Llovera struggled to a 9.45 ERA with 7 strikeouts. On August 20, Llovera was designated for assignment by the Phillies.[8] On August 22, Llovera cleared waivers and was assigned outright to the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs.[9]
