What once looked possible, then went from possible to probably, has now gone to definite. Bryson Stott has hit his way onto the Phillies’ Opening Day roster.
After the way both Stott has hit and Alec Bohm has hit, there simply was no way the team was going to be able to keep Stott off of the roster. He’s been one of their hottest hitters this spring, carrying the momentum he had built last season into this March to make the team.
The trick now becomes where to play him. They aren’t going to bring him to Philadelphia to simply watch and pick the brains of the major league coaching staff.
