Daily News | ‘I know I can hit’: Phillies top prospect Bryson Stott remains confident amid rough start
ATLANTA -- When the Phillies board the bus that takes them to or from the ballpark on the road, Bryson Stott often takes a seat near Nick Castellanos. The positive reinforcement flows from there.
Despite the numbers, the Phillies see signs that Stott isn’t overmatched by major-league pitching. For one thing, he isn’t swinging at an unusually high number of bad pitches. His chase rate, according to Fangraphs, was 32.9%, better than Castellanos , Bryce Harper , and Jean Segura , three of the team’s best hitters.
Stott has only 81 career plate appearances in triple A, so it isn’t a stretch to suggest he would benefit from more time at that level once Gregorius finally comes back. “We’ll continue to watch him,” Girardi said. “We’re not quite there [with a decision] yet, but I’m sure we’ll talk about it again.”
