Phillies Prospects Take in Sixers Game

Each January, big league organizations bring several of their brightest prospects to their home city in order to provide the youngsters with a crash course on life at the Major League level. It is known as the MLB Rookie Career Development Program.

As a way for the players to witness a live Philadelphia crowd first-hand, the Phillies provided tickets for Wednesday night's Sixers overtime loss to Denver for several of their young talents. Outfielder Jiwan James shot the video featured below of infielder Cesar Hernandez, righty pitcher Julio Rodriguez and catcher Sebastian Valle (in order, left to right) cheering for the hometown team and banging their thunder sticks.

Other players in attendance for the program include right-handed hurlers Trevor May, Jonathan Pettibone and Phillippe Aumont.

The 22-year-old has been slow to start offensively, but confidence and poise are not a problem for this strong, promising individual.

Ryan Madson is acting questionable
