Former Phillies’ prospect, Zach Green, made his major league debut with the San Francisco Giants Sunday.  He went 2 for 3 with a double and RBI.  Good for Zach.

There were several individual and team highlights last night.  Spencer Howard turned in yet another powerful performance for Clearwater.  I’m not sure that I’ll get to see him pitch during the Threshers’ next home stand.  Lakewood’s Ethan Lindow had another excellent outing.  I expect the 20-year-old will be making an appearance at Spectrum Field before the end of the season.

Reading produced four solo HRs in a losing effort.  Lehigh Valley rallied from way behind in another losing effort.  Williamsport got superb relief pitching in an extra-inning win.   Clearwater and Lehigh Valley also got strong, back end pitching from their relief corps.

And, the GCL teams played tough against each other. Continue reading Threshers Recap – 7/20/2019 →

A lot of brass was in town today.  So was Italian LHP Samuel Aldegheri and his family. He was here for his physical.  It was cool seeing Sal Agostinelli acting as interpreter.

There were 3x as many scouts as normal.  I don’t know who they were hear to see or what was being given away.
