Going into the Arizona Fall League season, the largest Phillies talking points were Alec Bohm and Spencer Howard. To their credit, they are both finding a lot of success with the Scottsdale Scorpions.
Alec Bohm is currently 2nd in batting average on the team behind Giants’ top prospect Joey Bart (who is hitting .400). He has 13 hits in 36 tries, good for a .361 batting average.
Spencer Howard, on the other hand, has blown away the prospect-filled league for the most part.
A 20 MPH separation between fastball and curveball makes life difficult for opposing batters.
