Regular Season Recap The Phillies wrapped up their season on Tuesday, finishing 36-20 with a +46 run differential. Their record was tied for 7th in the 45 team league, and they won the East division by 2 games over the NYY Yankees and Tigers 2, both of whom also advanced to the postseason. They were … Read more
At the time I write this, the 2026 DSL Phillies are 33-18 and are 3 games up on postseason spot with 5 games to go. Over the last month and a half they have been one of the best teams in the league and very fun to watch. Given that the 2022 Phillies White team … Read more
Season Recap Record: 22-37 The FCL Phillies were expected to be a poor team, and they were. The offense put up about 5 runs a game, but that was dwarfed by the 7 runs a game the pitching gave up. The young players struggled all year to hit, and injuries and promotions robbed them of … Read more

Which of course is why after it I was left wondering how far back trade chains go after the Phillies traded Seth Johnson to the Athletics. Of course last night Sam McWilliams pitched against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and kicked … Read more
This Week’s Schedule Hitter Spotlight OF Jonathan Hogart 5 G 9-19 1 2B 3 HR 14 RBI 5 BB 6 K .474/.560/1.000 Much like former teammate Nathan Humphreys, Hogart was brought in as an undrafted free agent by the Phillies in 2025. Hogart rarely chases, and aggressive in the zone, but has real contact issues … Read more
In the winter of 2018-2019 the Phillies traded for top prospect J.P. Crawford along with the ill advised recently signed Carlos Santana to the Mariners for Jean Segura, Juan Nicasio, and James Pazos. Ultimately, Segura would be completely solid for the Phillies and Crawford would be mostly that for the Mariners. The surrounding parts of … Read more
The trade deadline gives another good snapshot of the season to add in the new draft picks, take a larger view of the DSL season, see some prospects deal with the dog days of the season, and then really make some assessments of how players might be viewed outside the system.
