Greg Legg remembers the first few times he saw Jeff Singer pitch, and that’s why he is so impressed with what he sees from the South Jersey native.
“He is a hell of a story,” the manager of the Phillies’ double-A Reading affiliate said. “Early on when I had him, I said, ‘God, I’ve never seen this guy throw a strike.’ I think the first time I saw him, I had to go get him after he threw 12 straight balls. That was two years ago, and now you have a guy whose confidence just keeps growing.”
Singer, a graduate of Holy Cross High School and Rutgers-Camden, joined the Phillies as an undrafted free agent in 2016 after pitching for the now-defunct Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League the year before.
