Going into spring training the prospects Phillies fans knew the most about were, rightfully so, Alec Bohm and Spencer Howard.
On Monday, catching prospect Rafael Marchan made a name for himself with a couple of big plays and praise from big league manager, and former catcher, Joe Girardi.
“He’s the block master,” Girardi said after the Phillies second win of the spring. “The master. That might have been the best exhibition of blocking I’ve ever seen in one game.”
Marchan made a nice block in the sixth inning and nearly caught a runner, which would have been his second of the day.
