READING — Seven of the Phillies’ top 12 prospects are pitchers, with Sixto Sanchez and his blazing triple-digit fastball leading the way in single A and Enyel De Los Santos becoming the first young hurler to bring his talents to Philadelphia when he was called up last week.
But JoJo Romero is the prospect in the midst of arguably his best stretch as a minor leaguer. The Phillies fourth-round pick in 2016 has turned things around at double A after an ugly start to 2018.
“He was trying to do too much,” Reading manager Greg Legg said of Romero.
