ALLENTOWN – Lehigh Valley manager Dusty Wathan recently had a talk with catcher Jorge Alfaro, and the gist of the conversation centered on patience.
That meant having patience at the plate and in his situation with the organization.
For the 24-year-old Alfaro, being patient isn’t easy. But he understands it is his best way of eventually achieving his goal of becoming the Phillies’ catcher of the future.
Alfaro is out of minor-league options after this year, so the Phillies are looking to fine-tune him both offensively and defensively. Of utmost importance is his approach at the plate.
