Julian Sampson made his debut, following one of our better prospects, Heitor Correa, in the GCL Phillies 6-0 win today. Sampson’s line
2.0 IP, lots of 0’s, 1 K
All 5 of Sampson’s non-strikeout outs came via the ground…nice. Correa, who has been awesome since his first few appearances, went 5 innings, giving up 1 H, 1 BB, and striking out 1.

There’s some pitchers down there. I stumbled across this:

From 2/2007 a statistical ranking of minor league systems. Phillies are 4th in pitching and 10th overall. I’ve never seen them so high anywhere.

Sampson’s Lakewood debut didn’t go quite as smoothly today: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 5 BB, 3 K. The walks are a bit worrying, but it’s obviously far too early to draw any conclusions about the young man. Let’s hope it was nerves more than anything else.

Sampson touched 96-97. Wow, he’s going to be pretty damn good once his nerves calm themselves.
