Notes :


1B Micah Yonamine made a nice leaping catch and tag of the runner on a high throw to end the third inning.


The ABS system was used in tonight’s game - a lot of disputed strike calls by batters - especially on inside/outside corner pitches, to my eyes watching on tv they didn’t appear to be strikes 🤷‍♂️. There were 29 strikeouts combined in the game.




Today in Extended Spring Training :


The fellas continue to work on the backfields - today we watched running drills, pitcher’s fielding practices and a couple live bullpen sessions.


Daniel Brito and Scott Kingery took ground balls off the bat of legendary coach Roly de Armas on Carlton Field. Great to see Daniel on the ball field again and Scott is looking very fluid and comfortable - excited to see him play in games when he’s ready to return to action. There are a couple extended spring games on the schedule for next week.


Right handed pitchers Tyler Carr and Alex McKenney threw live BP sessions on Ashburn field.

Other Notes :


The Phillies have signed RHP Ofreidy Gomez to a minor league contract. He’s 26 years old and was originally signed by the Royals in 2012 out of Dominican Republic. His fastball generally sits in the 93-97 range and he also features a curve and changeup. He signed as a minor league free agent with the White Sox in December of 2020 and elected free agency again in November of 2021. With the White Sox organization in 2021 at both the AA and AAA levels he was used primarily as a reliever however prior to that in the Royals system he made 93 starts in 131 appearances. For now he’s been assigned to the Complex. From a fan’s view welcome to the Phillies Ofreidy.


As listed on their MiLB player pages and on Baseball America the Phillies released RHP Mark Potter and 1B Matt Goodheart this month along with RHP Dylan Castaneda, RHP Dallas Dyar, RHP Jose Ulloa, LHP Tyler Adams, C Juan Aparicio, 1B Joe Genord, INF Cash Case, INF Jose Tortolero, INF Guarner Dipre, INF Edgar Made and OF Ben Pelletier. Best wishes to all in their future endeavors.
