Phillies Second-Base Prospect Daniel Brito Could Break Out in 2017

The Phillies picked up three shortstops from the international signing pool in 2014 in Jonathan Arauz, Arquimedes Gamboa, and Daniel Brito. Arauz and Gamboa made their stateside debut in 2015, but Brito went to the Dominican Summer League for his first season. After Arauz went to Houston in the Ken Giles trade and Gamboa was promoted to short-season Williamsport, Brito was able to make his debut in the Gulf Coast League.

Playing alongside third-round draft pick Cole Stobbe, Brito spent a majority of his playing time at second base.
