2018 Phillies Prospect Countdown: #19 RHP Seranthony Dominguez

Dominican native Seranthony Dominguez is a talented hurler that deserves recognition among the Phillies top pitching prospects.

After signing with the Phillies at age 17 in 2012, the six-foot-one 185-pound righty would make his pro debut that   year with the Dominican Summer League Phillies.  He spent two seasons there, tallying an 8-10 record with two shutouts and a 3.20 ERA in 29 outings (24 starts).

He would debut stateside in 2014 with the Rookie level short-season Gulf Coast League Phillies, spending two seasons there.  In 16 appearances, Dominguez posted a 3-3 record with a 2.94 ERA.

In 2016, Dominguez opened the season in extended spring training and made three starts for short-season Class A Williamsport.  He would sport a 1-1 record with a 2.12 ERA and a .136 batting average against with the Crosscutters before a promotion to Class A Lakewood.

With the BlueClaws, Dominguez would notch a 5-2 record with a 2.43 ERA, a .202 BAA and a 9.3 K/9 mark in 10 starts.

Dominguez opened the 2017 campaign with the Class A Advanced Clearwater Threshers, where he was honored as a mid-season All-Star.  He would miss roughly two months in the middle of the season with a reported shoulder injury, but posted good numbers overall.  In 15 games (13 starts) for the Threshers, Dominguez had a 4-4 record with a 3.61 ERA, .230 BAA and a 10.8 K/9 mark. 

While his walk rate has been a concern at times during his time in the minors, his considerable strike out numbers are a big plus for Dominguez.

The 23-year-old was added to the Phillies' 40-man roster this off-season in order to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.

With an announced move to the bullpen, it's likely Dominguez should get opportunities to close.  Dominguez's arsenal features a very good fastball that ranges from 96-99 MPH, a wipe out breaking pitch that dives away from righty hitters with late movement along with a solid change up. 

The Phillies see a bright future for Dominguez in the late innings.  Look for him to open 2018 as part of the Double-A Reading roster with the potential to rely on his power arm and be a quickly paced mover in the upper levels of the sport.

This Guy Speaks For All of You

This individual, interviewed by FOX 29 on Friday as the Phillies arrived back at Citizens Bank Park, said it best. When asked how he felt regarding the Phillies, he told Steve Keeley that he was, "Stoked, baby!" The unidentified phanatic then proclaimed, "We are talking about the Fightins here, the Fightins! Said!" Check out the media player below, as the transcribed version certainly does not do this phireball of phandom justice.

Who is Your Favorite Willie 'Mays' Hayes?

PhoulBallz.com is wondering which individual who has portrayed Willie "Mays" Hayes is the favorite of the public. Hayes, of course, is the character made famous in the Major League motion picture series. In Major League , Willie "Mays" Hayes was portrayed by budding Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes, who would go on to action movie superstardom. Snipes has starred in major motion pictures like the Blade trilogy, Passenger 57 , Undisputed and many more. Snipes remains an impact Hollywood actor, despite legal troubles related to income tax evasion.

Phillies minor leaguer Burch to use health scare as fuel

Tyler Burch, image- MiLB.com I invite you to visit Patreon.com/PhoulBallz in order to support my work and get access to exclusive interviews plus early access to features and news such as this. A missed baseball season wasn't the only challenge facing righty pitcher Tyler Burch this summer.   With persistent symptoms that began prior to spring training it was ultimately discovered, after the 2020 season was shut down due to the Coronavirus pandemic, that the 22-year-old had developed an autoimmune disease.   As symptoms that included dry mouth and frequent trips to the bathroom worsened, Burch's situation left his doctor puzzled.  And even the physician that conducted his team physical examination at the outset of spring training jokingly referenced diabetes, but did not take the possibility seriously.    The physical impacts subsided somewhat during spring training, as being more active and adhering to the team diet helped alleviate what he was experiencing.
