The Phillies have reached agreements with four un-drafted free agents (UDFA’s). Their deals are pending completion of physicals after which they will sign contracts.
22 year old 2B Tyler Pettorini (Ohio State University)
“Fourth-year veteran infielder Tyler Pettorini has steadily grown as a hitter in his time at Ohio State. After batting .218 as a freshman, his average jumped to .315 in 2023 and remained north of .300 last season. Pettorini did not sacrifice consistency while showing more power as a junior, either, as he more than doubled his home-run production from four to nine, resulting in a jump in slugging percentage from .490 to .506.” Flobaseball
He played for West Virginia in the Draft League and posted a .327/.389/.469 slash line in 126 plate appearances.
22 year old OF Nate Humphreys (Dallas Baptist University)
“Humphreys grew up in the small town of Midlothian, Texas. His father, Mike, played three seasons in the Major Leagues with the New York Yankees, and his older brothers, Zach and Alec, both went on to play Division I baseball. To say that baseball was an important part of life for the Humphreys family would be an understatement. They even had '330' painted on their fence line, like the foul lines on a baseball diamond.” - DBU profile
He hit .353/.457/.679 this season in 279 plate appearances with 17 home runs and 69 RBIs.
23 year old RHP Keegan Batka (Davenport University)
“Aggressive and athletic at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds,will sit mostly 94 mph and showed late cut with his 4-seamer. He tends to slow his arm on his 83-86 mph change-up, but it did show some sink/tail. He also had some feel for a 76-81 mph slider with fair depth.” - Prep Baseball
