A Philadelphia Phillies bench player has been red hot at the plate, but has extended his brilliance to his first career start in the outfield.
Phillies utility man Edmundo Sosa was given a chance to find a new way into their lineup, getting the start in left field against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.
Braves slugger Marcell Ozuna was up to bat in the first inning of that matchup when he sent a Zack Wheeler sweeper deep to left field and had Sosa trailing back.
The Philadelphia rising star began to slow down and looked to possibly be letting this one go, but he hopped over the fence and was able to come down with the ball.
