Instant analysis: Phillies call up top draft pick Mickey Moniak

It hasn’t been a secret. The Phillies’ center field duo of Roman Quinn and Adam Haseley has not been working. Quinn has just 1 hit in 17 at bats and Haseley has hit just .190.

It’s Time for the Phillies to Recall Center Fielder Mickey Moniak

During Spring Training, Mickey Moniak was outperforming every Phillies’ center field candidate by a longshot. But the farther the Phillies got into Spring Training, the fewer at-bats Moniak got per game. It quickly became apparent that Moniak never got a fair look and eventually got sent down.

The Phillies are likely a team that is always looking at the free agency market. One of the somewhat more notable names remaining is their former third baseman, Maikel Franco. […]

Why Roman Quinn Will Win the Phillies’ Starting Centerfield Job

Roman Quinn. Fast outfielder. Defensive liability. Mediocre batter. Starting centerfielder? Yup, you heard that right. In just under three weeks, the Phillies will take the field against the Atlanta Braves in front of 8,800 fans, and the season will begin anew. On that day, it will be Roman Quinn starting in centerfield for the Phillies. […]

Did Mickey Moniak Solidify a Consistent Role in the Phillies’ Outfield?

Mickey Moniak has been on a slower path than most. After being drafted first overall in the 2016 MLB draft, Moniak has been held to high expectations. The Phillies took a bit of a chance taking him directly out of high school. However, this partially explains the delay in his development. After a few years […]

Adam Haseley Leads Off Battle for Center Field in a Big Way

It didn’t take long into competition for Adam Haseley to begin to make his case for the starting center fielder job.
