One of the Philadelphia Phillies' high-priced players has started helping out one of the young guys who has been struggling early on.
Prior to his promotion, they had one of the worst outfield defenses in all of baseball with Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber at the corners. Putting Rojas in center allowed the Phillies to move Brandon Marsh to left and put their slugger back into his normal designated hitter role.
But, perhaps one of the reasons why they weren't able to make the Fall Classic again was because of Rojas' offense in the playoffs.He started 2024 in a similar way, getting only one hit in his first eight games before breaking through with a three-hit day. With a clubhouse full of accomplished players who have won MVP awards, earned All-Star selections, and Silver Sluggers, it would be easy for them to look down upon the youngster who hasn't quite proven he's capable of competing at the plate.
