Notes on Phillies and former Phillies participating in winter leagues.
Mexican Pacific Winter League :
12/13/24 action : former Phillies minor league LHP JP Woodward (26 years old) pitched 1.1 scoreless innings (2 BB, 3 K’s) for Venados de Mazatlán in a 3-1 win over Sultanes de Monterrey lowering his season ERA to 2.60 in 29 games (27.2 IP) and has not allowed a run in his last 14 appearances (14.1 IP) posting 21 K’s against three walks and allowing six hits during that span. Woodward features a sinker (92-94 mph), sweeper, change-up and a recently developed cutter - he’s posted a 6 percent hard hit ball rate with an average exit velocity of just 78 mph against him. Woodward is a free agent who has pitched in the independent leagues the past couple seasons - he had TJ surgery while with the Phillies (2021-2022) and has fully recovered and is pitching great. Is a free agent that some team should take a chance on in my humble opinion. Newly signed Phillies minor leaguer Luis Verdugo went 2 for 3 (singles) playing third base for Tomateros de Culiacán in a 8-5 loss to Yaquis de Obregón.
Dominican Winter League :
12/13/24 action : infielder Rodolfo Castro (2B) went 1 for 3 (single) with a run scored for Estrellas Orientales in a 4-1 victory against Tigres del Licey. Former Phillies minor league RHP Ulises Joaquin pitched two scoreless innings out of the bullpen for the Tigres.
Colombia Winter League :
12/13/24 action : left fielder Isaias Dipre (recently taken by Phillies in the minor league rule 5 draft) went 2 for 4 (singles) with a walk and first baseman Felix Reyes went 1 for 5 with a double for Leones de Barranquilla in a 6-1 win over Vaqueros de Monteria. Former Phillies minor league outfielder Jhailyn Ortiz was 3 for 5 (two singles & HR) with two RBIs and three runs scored for the Toros de Sincelero in a 7-6 loss to Tigres de Cartagena.
Venezuela Winter League :
12/13/24 action : second baseman Erick Brito went 2 for 2 (singles) for Leones del Caracas in a 13-0 loss to Cardenales de Lara. Right-fielder Leandro Pineda went 1 for 2 (double) with a run scored for Navegantes del Magallanes in a 8-4 win over Tigres de Aragua. RHP Saul Teran pitched 1.2 scoreless innings (0 H, 1 BB, 1 K - 28 pitches - 15 strikes) for Caribes de Anzoategui in a 10-8 loss to Bravos de Margarita. Former Phillies minor league RHP Felix Paulino pitched two scoreless frames (1 H, 2 K’s) in the game for the Bravos.
Australian Winter League :
12/13/24 action : the Adelaide Giants defeated the Melbourne Aces 4-0. Former Phillies minor league infielder Nick Ward (3B) went 1 for 2 (single) and walked twice. Former Phillies spring training invite outfielder Jordan McArdle was 2 for 4 (double & HR) with an RBI and two runs scored. Second baseman Nikau Pouaka-Grego went 1 for 4 with a single. Luis Caicuto caught the game and was 0 for 4. Former Phillies minor league first baseman Rixon Wingrove walked twice in four plate appearances.
Panama Winter League :
12/13/24 action : catcher Eduardo Tait went for 3 for 3 (two singles and double) for Águilas Metropolitanas in a 6-2 win over Federales de Chiriqui. He leads the four team league in hitting with a .462 batting average after 11 games played.
