My prospect-loving heart dies a little every deadline day
First two outings at AA for Mavis Graves have been out of the bullpen. Sunday he struck out 5 and in 2 innings. The pitch usage is interesting. He threw 14 sliders, 4 sinkers (91-93), 5 cutters, 2 changeups The slider is a legit weapon. Wonder if he gets a velo bump in the pen
Aroon Escobar’s seventh home run of the season is a 101 mph rocket to give Reading a 5-0 lead. It’s Escobar’s first homer since June 28. He’s driven in 3 in his first two ABs in the doubleheader nightcap
Bryan Rincon with his 18th home run of the season for Reading to lead off the game
Francisco Renteria doubles and Edwin Ramirez drives him in with a single to get the DSL Phillies on the board. Ramirez is 2 for 3 today and is hitting .400 over 85 ABs this season
Good to see Juan Parra back in the lineup today for the DSL Phillies
Juan Parra was just removed from the DSL Phillies game after taking a 91 mph fastball to the side of the head. Parra initially popped right up but looked as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was doing before going down and being tended to by the trainer
Alex McFarlane strikes out the side tonight for Lehigh Valley in the ninth, averaging 99.9 mph on his fastball. He needed just 13 pitches to close out the game.
Bryan Rincon with a moonshot for his 17th home run of the season for Reading. It was part of a 3-for-4 night for Rincon which saw him finish a triple shy of the cycle
Tegan Cain continues to be my favorite reliever in the system, especially when he strikes out the side like he did tonight. He generated 5 whiffs on 5 swings on his changeup, and averaged 94.9 on his sinker for Clearwater
Will Gasparino’s first professional hit is a rocket of a grand slam to break the game open for Clearwater. The Phillies’ fifth round pick turns on a 95 mph sinker and hits it 397 feet at 107.4 mph
Juan Villavicencio picks up where he left off in Clearwater, leading off Jersey Shore’s game with a solo home run. It’s his 14th homer across two levels this season
Phillies sixth round pick Macon Winslow singles in his first pro AB with Clearwater
Juan Parra was just removed from the DSL Phillies game after taking a 91 mph fastball to the side of the head. Parra initially popped right up but looked as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was doing before going down and being tended to by the trainer

Nelson Prieto is on a heater. He’s 8 for 19 in his last five games with a hit and RBI in each game. He’s 2 for 2 today including this 2-run single past a drawn in infield. The 18-year-old has driven in 9 in his last 5 games
Nelson Prieto hit his 4th homer for the DSL Phillies on Monday and was a triple shy of the cycle, driving in a pair of runs. The 18-year-old C/1B is slashing 306/392/561 in 31 games, but is carrying a 28.6% strikeout rate. He posted exit velos of 110.2, 102.8 and 102.8 Monday
Francisco Renteria went 3 for 4 with a walk in Monday’s win, driving in a pair of runs. He had exit velos of 108.1, 98.2 and 92 on his hits. He also stole his 18th base in 21 tries. The 17-year-old is slashing 378/463/622 in 39 games with 38 RBIs and 49 runs scored
