Phillies pitching prospect Connor Hinchliffe is returning to his alma mater amid the canceled MiLB season, but not for academics
Amid uncertainty surrounding the return of minor-league baseball, and given he is not among those in the Philadelphia Phillies player pool, right-handed pitching prospect Connor Hinchliffe has decided to return to his La Salle University alma mater.
The 24-year-old Pottsville, Pennsylvania, native will not be taking classes as the new semester begins, but rather re-joining the university’s baseball team — “until duty calls” with the Phillies —as Director of Player Development for the 2020-21 season.
