Last night, the Red Sox curb stomped the Phillies. It wasn’t a competitive game, especially once Aaron Nola was knocked out of the game. Today, the Phillies threw a rookie out there in Spencer Howard.
Who is Spencer Howard? He is a player that made his MLB debut last year, pitching a grand total of six games, all games against NL East teams except one outing against the Blue Jays. While he had mixed results, the scouting report was electric. Currently the #32 prospect in all of baseball, Howard mixes two 60-grade pitches in his fastball/changeup combo, and throws in two more 50-grade pitches in his slider and curveball.
