Phillies pitching prospect Connor Hinchliffe is not letting the pandemic get in the way of his goals.
Given the COVID-19 pandemic, pitchers have to make the most of what they have to stay prepared, in case they are called upon to report. Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Connor Hinchliffe is doing just that at his home in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
He even took the extra step to creatively turn his driveway into what WBRE in Wilkes-Barre reports as a “high-tech bullpen.” Hinchliffe, 23, throws to a fake batter, and also trains and plays catch with his brother daily; he even uses equipment to track his spin rate and velocity.
