DOWN ON THE FARM

OF Gabriel Rincones Jr., OF Ethan Wilson, OF Ricardo Rosario, RHP Orion Kerkering, RHP Wen Hui Pan, LHP Danny Wilkinson among Phillies minor league standouts in Week 14.

Lehigh Valley scuffled against Scranton Wilkes-Barre getting blown out in two games yet still found a way to win two of the five games played. Bailey Falter and Nick Nelson made a couple good starts and Rafael Marchan, Kody Clemens and Scott Kingery hit the ball well.

Reading’s bullpen had a great week. They allowed just four-earned runs over twenty six and two third innings, which is good for a 1.35 ERA. — note provided by Jake Starr — Fightins Media Relations and Press Box Manager. Ethan Wilson (10 for 23 -.435) had a strong week as did Carlos De La Cruz (8 for 23 (.348) with four doubles, HR and four RBIs) and Johan Rojas (four doubles, a triple, five RBIs and three stolen bases).

Hudson Valley had Jersey Shore’s number during the week however Gabriel Rincones Jr (9 for 20 (.450) with a double, three home runs, four RBIs, five walks, .560 OBP) had a strong offensive output. Rafael Marcano made a quality start (five innings, one unearned run, five hits, one walk and four strikeouts) and multiple members of the bullpen pitched well.

Clearwater kept on rolling going 5–1 for the week including four walk-off victories, it’s been a special season for the group that truly plays as a team, this week outfielder Ricardo Rosario excelled going 9 for 22 (.409) with two home runs, six RBIs, two walks and a .458 OBP. First baseman Cole Moore also had a big week (6 for 14 (.429) with three doubles, two home runs, three RBIs, .467 OBP).
