Not good news for Phillies fans or coaches. Vincent Velasquez has left his start against the Chicago Cubs after throwing just two pitches with the Phillies training staff.
Brett Oberholtzer was brought in to the game in relief of the young, rising star pitcher.
Velasquez threw two change-ups with very slow velocity and was able to get Dexter Fowler out, but he walked off the mound knowing there was something wrong.

As you can see, Velasquez doesn’t grab anything or wince, he and Cameron Rupp just know something is not right.
