A few Philadelphia Phillies prospects produced some head-turning series in the latest week of the minor-league season, the last full week before the Major League Baseball trade deadline.
Among those players was Jersey Shore’s Jhailyn Ortiz, who slugged his way to High-A East player of the week honors with his performance against the Winston-Salem Dash.
The BlueClaws split their six-game series with Winston-Salem, bringing their record to 32-40; the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs are also 32-40; the Double-A Reading Fightin Phils are 29-43; the Low-A Clearwater Threshers are 35-36; the FCL Phillies entered Monday with a record of 9-6.
