The Phillies have signed 29 year old RHP Josh Winder to a two year minor league contract. He was the 7th round draft pick of the Minnesota Twins in the 2018 draft from VMI. Winder pitched for the Twins organization thru the 2024 season, he then signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks on 1/23/25 but did not pitch for them as he underwent Tommy John surgery, the Diamondbacks released him on 3/28/25. He has not pitched in a game since.
Winder made 38 major league appearances (11 starts) with the Twins from 2022 to 2024 recording a 4.39 ERA in 110.2 IP with 85 K’s and 33 walks. In the minors he made 100 appearances (51 starts) with a 3.71 ERA in 334.1 IP with 355 K’s and 91 walks.
The 6’5” hurler is noted as having the ability to repeat his delivery and consistently throw strikes - his fastball generally sat in the 93-95 mph range but had trended up to touch 97-98 with heavy sink. Secondaries include curve, slider and change up.
From a fan’s view welcome to the Phillies Josh!
