As minor league fans we grasp for hope and improvement in minor league players, and we often grasp on to little pieces of information in an effort to make sense of the chaos. This ranges from singular scouting reports from a singular person on a singular day or series* to a set of splits on a stats page. We are just looking for narrative and meaning. The player that has risen to the top of the narrative pile is Phillies Low-A right fielder Dylan Cozens.
*This is the nature of scouting and why multiple looks and context are important parts of the entire evaluation process.
The narrative coming out of the season was that Cozens built on first half successes into an outstanding second half, and from the surface if we take the triple slash line that looks fairly accurate.
