Phillies Prospect LHP Josh Hendrickson Shining in Australia

Perhaps the Philadelphia Phillies have their next successful, perennial southpaw starting pitcher in their farm system after all, similar to homegrown 2008 World Series MVP, Cole Hamels.

Keep an eye on Perth, Australia, native and Phillies left-handed prospect, Josh Hendrickson. The Phillies drafted him in the 38th round of this year’s amateur draft out of the University of San Diego. And, this fall, the 6-foot-4, 22-year-old is taking part in Australian Baseball League action for his hometown Perth Heat.
