READING - He took a serious step back during a 2014 season that went awry after he suffered a concussion, but Jesse Biddle is attempting to pitch his way back into the Phillies' future.
This is the sixth minor-league season and the third at double-A Reading for Biddle, the Phillies' first-round draft pick in 2010 out of Germantown Friends School.
Once considered the Phillies' top pitching prospect, Biddle has been far from dominating this season. Still, he is getting the ball every fifth day and will look at his most recent start as a step in the right direction.
