Phillies: Rhys Hoskins, JoJo Romero named minor-leaguers of the year

The Phillies had several players with tremendous seasons in the minor-leagues this year, but MLB Pipeline ultimately decided Rhys Hoskins and JoJo Romero were the team’s minor-league hitter and pitcher of the year.

Hoskins had a season unlike any other this year. He started off by decimating Triple-A pitching, hitting 29 home runs in 115 games with a .966 OPS. The best part about his time in Lehigh Valley was that he did it all with tremendous plate discipline, walking in 13.5 percent of his plate appearances while striking out in just 15.
