MIAMI — Rhys Hoskins has played at four minor-league levels over the last two years, finding the same success at each stop as he raced through Phillies system. A new challenge may be near.

“Of course I’m ready,” Hoskins said about playing in the majors before the Futures Game Sunday at Marlins Park.

The first baseman is the Phillies’ most major-league ready prospect. He has a polished approach at the plate and is more than just a home run hitter. Hoskins, 24, is batting .289 with 20 homers and a .961 OPS this season at triple-A Lehigh Valley.
