Williamsport’s Kilome among next wave of Phils’ top prospects

STATEN ISLAND, NY- Coming into the 2015 season, Franklyn Kilome wasn’t among the buzz names in the land of Phillies prospects. But as some of the top ranked talents in the organization have successfully climbed the developmental ladder, the 20-year-old righty pitcher has begun to stand out.

With an excellent season thus far for the Class A short-season Williamsport Crosscutters, Kilome has begun to draw plenty of attention. In seven starts, the six-foot-six 175 pounder sports a 2-1 record with a 1.74 ERA and a 7.26 K/9 mark.

It’s not just the numbers that have caught people’s eyes.
