#Phillies prospect Marty Gair throws Gas 🔥 He struck out 2 batters in the 9th inning for the @Threshers tonight and hit 102.2 MPH! The hardest pitch thrown by a player in the Phillies org this season The 22 year old was the Phillies 13th round pick in the 2023 draft

Some rare traffic on the bases today for Alex McFarlane, allowing a hit and a walk. However he struck out one batter and rolled a double play for yet another scoreless inning. McFarlane has not allowed an earned run since April 17th

@JigginJalen Not sure, at least I haven’t seen anyone say anything about it yet

@FuturePhils Do we know what’s wrong with rincon?

A few transactions ahead of Reading’s early game today. Bryan Rincon to 7 day IL Erick Brito Ironpigs Rehab Assignment moved from Jersey Shore to Reading

Dylan Campbell broke the game wide open for Reading with a bases loaded double. Before today, Campbell was hitting .284/.368/.522 in May and is hitting near the top of Reading's lineup today with Rincon now on the IL.

Keaton Anthony and Alirio Ferrebus go back to back in the ninth inning as part of a 6-run inning that gave Clearwater a come-from-behind 8-6 win over Tampa

Ramon Marquez struck out 7 in 5 innings of relief for Clearwater tonight. He did allow two solo home runs, but he didn’t walk a batter and topped out at 97 mph.

@Mitch_Rupert This feels a bit surprising. It seemed to me he was starting to put it together this year

The Phillies have traded AA reliever Andrew Baker to Colorado for international bonus pool money. Baker has a big arm with a tight slider, but just never found the consistency in the strike zone to make it all work

Wow this kind of surprising. Baker has been in the system for a while as a hard throwing reliever that couldn’t put it together. This year it looked like it might be coming together, he had a 1.76 FIP and was leading the AA Eastern League in swinging strike%

Four strikeouts through the first two innings for Gage Wood in his AA debut. His bread and butter is still that fastball, but seems to be getting to the breaking stuff a little more frequently

Two more strikeouts in the third inning for Gage Wood in his AA debut. He goes 3 innings in his AA debut, allowing 4 hits, including a solo homer, walked one, and struck out 6. He threw 38 of 56 pitches for strikes

Franklin Arias takes fellow Top 100 prospect Gage Wood deep at Double-A 💪 The @RedSox No. 1 prospect connects on his career-high 9th home run of the year for the @PortlandSeaDogs:

Stumped him. 🪵 Gage Wood has 4️⃣ strikeouts in a pair of innings! #GoFightins

Felix Reyes has homered AGAIN. 107 mph and 421 ft. He's hit 3 home runs in the last 2 games

“Double-A?!” 😀 Here’s the moment Gage Wood (@phillies) found out he was jumping a level and getting promoted ❤️ @PhilsPlayerDev | @ReadingFightins | @Threshers

The most related Phillies piece of this is how much the home run environment has impacted Bryan Rincon’s 2026 breakout. The AA Eastern League where Reading plays has had one of the highest increases in HR%

Something that’s really important to contextualize the 2026 minor league season is scoring and home runs are WAY up in a lot of leagues. This great article from Baseball America breaks it down.

Phillies prospect Alex McFarlane turned in 1.1 scoreless innings today for AA Reading, allowed no hits, and struck out 2. He also touched 100 mph according to the broadcast. McFarlane has been dominant in AA this year with a 0.57 ERA in 15.2 IP and 0.96 WHIP

@2030Phils Yeah the raw stuff is sick, command has been a much better the last few outings too. I see pitch classification has his slider incorrectly listed as a change up tonight tho

@FuturePhils I am madly in love

Another nice outing from Marty Gair for Clearwater tonight. 2 strikeouts in one inning of work and topped out at 100.2 mph. When the velo is up a tick like it has been recently the fastball is so overpowering, especially for the level. (5 whiffs on 8 swings tonight)

Clearwater's Griffin Burkholder is 2 for 3 in the opener of a doubleheader for the Thresher in Tampa today with his third home run of the season and an RBI single. In his last 9 games, the second-round pick is hitting .457 with 9 XBHs and 12 RBIs
