Phillies prospect Matt Vierling has shined as the team makes a postseason push.

Before his mid-June promotion to replace fellow outfielder Matt Joyce on the Philadelphia Phillies big-league roster, few knew Matt Vierling.

Now, he is quickly becoming known, not just among Phillies fans, but throughout Major League Baseball.

Entering Saturday, the soon-to-be 25-year-old outfielder has impressed and made a noticeable impact, as the Joe Girardi-led squad looks to make the postseason over its final month of the 2021 regular season.
