CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Noah Song has no illusions of the challenges still ahead as he approaches the end of his first week of spring training after joining the Philadelphia Phillies from the U.S. Navy.
Dressed in white pinstripe pants and a red batting practice jersey with No. 52 and his name on the back, the 25-year old right-hander threw 25 pitches on Tuesday during his second mound session since reporting to camp Thursday.
“It’s a work in progress, for sure,” Song said of the session watched by Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski and manager Rob Thomson.
