Scott Kingery wasn’t supposed to be a Triple-A player at this point in his career. In fact, the Philadelphia Phillies signed him to a six-year deal during spring training of 2018 before he’d ever played a game in the majors because they believed he wasn’t a Triple-A player then either.
But things change in baseball, and, over the course of three-plus seasons, things did just that. With on-field struggles and no regular playing time anywhere to be found for the Phillies, Kingery is back in the minors with Lehigh Valley, trying to work on his game in a lower-pressure environment.
