Notes on Phillies and former Phillies participating in winter leagues.
Dominican Winter League :
12/17/24 action : center fielder Johan Rojas was 0 for 2 with a walk, stolen base (22nd of season) and a run scored for Gigantes del Cibao in a 5-1 win against Toros del Este. In the month of December Johan is now 14 for 40 (.350) with 8 walks and 16 stolen bases - he has posted a .459 OBP and has struck out just 7 times (14 %) during that time period. 👀.
Former Phillies minor league RHP Franklyn Kilome pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the Toros allowing one hit while striking out three batters. Former Phillies catcher Jorge Alfaro went 3 for 6 with 5 RBIs for Tigres del Licey in a 25-3 romp over Aguilas Cibaeñas.
Colombia Winter League :
12/17/24 action : first baseman Felix Reyes was 2 for 5 (singles) with two RBIs for Leones de Barranquilla in a 5-2 win over Caimanes de Barranquilla. Felix is now hitting .311 (19 for 61) with 8 doubles and has a .443 OBP in 68 plate appearances - he’s struck out just seven times (10 %).
Venezuela Winter League :
12/17/24 action : former Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera went 3 for 5 (two singles & double) for Tigres de Aragua in a 7-3 loss to Cardenales de Lara. Former Phillies minor league first baseman Aldrem Corredor went 2 for 3 (single & double) with three walks, two RBIs and two runs scored for Leones del Caracas in a 10-8 win over Tiburones de La Guaira. Pedro Martinez went 2 for 5 (singles) with two runs scored for Bravos de Margarita in a 11-10 win against Aguilas del Zulia.
Mexican Winter League :
12/17/24 action : shortstop Luis Verdugo went 1 for 3 (single) with an RBI for Tomateros de Culiacán in a 4-2 victory against Mayos de Navojoa. Former Phillies minor league LHP JP Woodward yielded a run on one hit while striking out two batters in an inning of work for Venados de Mazatlán in a 6-5 loss to Charros de Jalisco. It ends a 14 appearance scoreless streak for JP but he continues to throw really well - he recently told me that “I am grateful to be where I’m at, it's been a long journey but I wouldn't be where I am at right now without all the trials and setbacks. I really feel hands down this is the best stuff I’ve ever had and it's pretty nasty. I will just keep working day by day and trust that good things will happen. Really hoping to get another shot. Appreciate you sir!” JP remains a free agent - I also need to clarify - in an earlier post I stated he had TJ surgery while with the Phillies - it was actually an ulnar nerve transposition.
Panama Winter League :
12/17/24 action : Eduardo Tait went 1 for 4 with a single for Águilas Metropolitanas in a 9 -0 loss to Federales de Chiriqui.
Puerto Rico Winter League :
12/17/24 action : former Phillies minor league outfielder Danny Ortiz went 2 for 4 with an RBI for Indios de Mayaguez in a 7-3 win over Gigantes de Carolina.
Other Notes :
Infielder Kendall Simmons has signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers - he played last season at Reading and was the Phillies 2018 6th round draft selection. One of my favorite people, we wish him the best as he continues his quest to reach the show.
Happy Day, Happy Baseball ⚾️
