Free agent 1B/DH Darick Hall has signed a minor league contract with an invitation to big league spring training with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Darick was the Phillies 14th round draft selection in the 2016 draft from Dallas Baptist University. Last season he became the all-time franchise leader in home runs and RBIs for the AAA affiliate Lehigh Valley IronPigs with 76 taters and 277 ribbies. He has played in the Phillies organization in 850 minor league games hitting 189 doubles, 160 home runs and posting 561 RBIs. In addition he’s appeared in 60 major league games with 9 doubles, 10 home runs and 19 RBIs.
Darick is one of the most upbeat and kindest persons I’ve ever met, he’s both capable and deserving of an chance to once again play Major League Baseball - I truly hope that he’s able to do so with the Pirates!
From a fan’s view congratulations Darick on your new opportunity.
Happy Day, Happy Baseball ⚾️
