Did Ya Know 🧐 :
Playing Like “A Milli-on” Bucks - Phillies No. 2 Prospect Aidan Miller was named Eastern League Player of the Week on Monday. Over six games last week, Miller slashed .385/.469/.692 (1.161 OPS), with 10 runs, five doubles, a home run, four RBI and was a perfect six-for-six in stolen bases. He had multiple hits in four-of-six games, which included a three-hit games on Tuesday and three-straight two-hit games from Friday to Sunday. Miller matched a career-high with four runs scored on Saturday night.
Miller enters play today with an Eastern League best, and Phillies organziational best, 44 stolen bases on the season. He is the first Fightin Phil to swipe 40+ bags in a season since Quintin Berry in 2009. If Miller is to reach 50 over the next 30 games, he would be the first Reading player to steal 50-or-more in a season since Jose Leiva swiped 50 in 1987. It was the second league award in Miller’s career, as he was named South Atlantic League Player of the Month in August of 2024. It was the second time a Fightin Phil won a league award this season, as Griff McGarry was named Eastern League Pitcher of the Week on April 7. - Jake Starr - Reading Director of PR/Media Relations, Client Fulfillment & Broadcaster

The Threshers opened up a four-game lead in the Florida State League West Second Half Standings with a five-game sweep in Fort Myers against the Mighty Mussels. Kicking off Clearwater’s 12-game homestand is a six-game series against the FSL West First Half Champions Lakeland Flying Tigers.

Lakeland swept a six and three game set against Clearwater in Lakeland at the start of the second half, but Clearwater enters their final regular season series with eight wins in their last ten games and a six game win streak, the longest active streak in the FSL. - Josh Sperber - Clearwater Threshers Broadcaster
