Rhys Hoskins is no longer with the Philadelphia Phillies but he still remembers everything about his MLB debut.
Hoskins connected with Phillies fans like few others and when he strode to the plate for his first at-bat in the series opener he was greeted with a warm standing ovation from the crowd.It was an emotional few days for Hoskins, who admitted before the first game that he would “probably” cry at some point.
A TikTok account called batboybaseball recently got with Hoskins in Milwaukee and put him to the test. Hoskins was asked if he could remember the starting lineup from his debut game.Freddy Galvis batting second and playing shortstop? Yep. And he kept going. After that, it was Nick Williams in right field and Tommy Joseph at first base. Yep, Hoskins wasn’t at first base, where he rose to prominence with the Phillies. He started in left field.If you don’t remember, those Phillies were not good. They finished the season 66-96 and in last place in the NL East. Pete Mackanin was the manager.
Hoskins was unable to play last year after he tore his ACL during spring training. While he was rehabbing his injury, the Phillies moved Bryce Harper from the outfield to first base as a strategy to get the former MVP — who was still recovering from Tommy John surgery — on the field.
