The IronPigs offense will sure take a hit until folks like Aidan Miller and Gabriel Rincones Jr. return from injury.
Jean Cabrera doing his absolute worst audition for a future call-up. In 3 starts (12.1 IP), Cabrera has given up 11 earned runs on 16 hits and 5 walks with 12 strikeouts.Reading Fightin Phils (7-8)Pitching Highlights:Zack Wheeler – 2 GS, 9.2 IP, 10 H, 7 R, 7 ER, BB, 13 K, 2 HRAdam Seminaris – 1 GS, 4 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 0 ER, BB, 6 K, HRKyle Brnovich – 1 GS, 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, BB, 5 K, HR, WPCharles King – 1 GS, 4 Ip, 10 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 BB, K, WP, HBPBraydon Tucker – 1 GS, 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 KAlex McFarlane – 2 G, 1.1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 ER, BB, 2 KHitting Highlights:Dante Nori – 5 G, 6 for 22, 4 R, 2B, HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 7 K, 2 SB, CSCarson DeMartini – 4 G, 4 for 16, 3 R, HR, 3 RBI, 3 BB, 7 K, SB, CSAroon Escobar – 4 G, 5 for 17, 5 R, 2B, HR, 4 RBI, 2 BB, 4 K, 2 SBKehden Hettiger – 3 G, 3 for 15, 2 R, HR, 5 RBI, 0 BB, 5 K, CSBryan Rincon – 4 G, 2 for 17, 2 R, 2B, BB, 7 K, 3 SBDylan Campbell – 5 G, 5 for 19, 2 R, 3 2B, HR, 5 RBI, 2 BB, 5 KAlex Binelas – 4 G, 4 for 13, 4 R, 2B, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 3 BB, 4 K, SBJordan Dissin – 2 G, 3 for 8, 2 R, 2B, HR, 3 RBI, 0 BB, 2 KBryson Ware – 4 G, 6 for 17, 3 R, 2B, 3 HR, 5 RBI, 0 BB, 5 K, SBRaylin Heredia – 5 G, 9 for 22, 7 R, 4 2B, 3B, HR, 3 RBI, BB, 10Zack Wheeler getting some more rehab starts from the confines of Reading.
While his Tuesday start last week was good, his start on the weekend was decidedly not. Velocity was noted to be way down and he was hit around quite a bit. Recovery is different for everyone and especially for as serious a surgery that Wheeler had.
We should be patient there.The offense absolutely TOOK OFF this past week. Bryson Ware and Alex Binelas both have 5 homers to start the young season. Dante Nori mashed his 2nd of the season after having all of 4 in 2025.
DeMartini and Escobar both get on the board as well.Jersey Shore BlueClaws (9-5)Pitching Highlights:Mavis Graves – 1 GS, 4 Ip, 1 H, 0 R, BB, 9 KReese Dutton – 2 G, 1 GS, 8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 KRyan Degges – 1 GS, 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, WPLuke Gabrysh – 1 GS, 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, HRRyan Dromboski – 1 GS, 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 KSam Highfill – 1 GS, 5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, WPHitting Highlights:John Spikerman – 3 G, 2 for 11, 3 R, 3B, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 3 K, SBDevin Saltiban – 5 G, 6 for 24, 3 R, 2 2B, RBI, 0 BB, 7 K, 2 SBBrock Vradenburg – 3 G, 3 for 14, R, 2 2B, RBI, BB, 4 K, CSJose Colmanares – 4 G, 6 for 13, 4 R, HR, 4 RBI, 4 BB, 6 K, SB, 2 CSKodey Shojinaga – 4 G, 5 for 17, 4 R, 3 2B, 7 RBI, BB, KMavis Graves with his best start of the season and one of the best starts to a season for the 22 year old lefty. The organization has praised his stuff and potential, but Graves’ inability to find the strike-zone has hurt him so far in his professional career.
A turnaround would be huge for the Phillies farm system.Clearwater Threshers (8-7)Pitching Highlights: Tanner Gresham – 2 GS, 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, HRGage Wood – 1 GS, 4 Ip, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K, HBPCody Bowker – 1 GS, 3 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 KSean Youngerman – 1 GS, 2.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, BB, 3 K, HRBrad Pacheco – 1 GS, 4 Ip, 8 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 2 HRGabe Craig – 2 G, 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 KHitting Highlights:Nathan Humphreys – 4 G, 6 for 17, 5 R, 3 2B, HR, 3 RBI, 3 BB, 4 K, 2 SB, 2 CSGriffin Burkholder – 2 G, 2 for 7, 2 R, 2 BB, 2 K, 3 SBAlirio Ferrebus – 5 G, 4 for 21, 3 R, 2 2B, HR, 4 RBI, 2 BB, 6 K, SBWill Vierling – 3 G, 0 for 11, RBI, BB, 4 KMatthew Ferrara – 4 G, 5 for 15, 4 R, 2 2B, 2 3B, HR, 4 RBI, 2 BB, 5 KJuan Villavincencio – 3 G, 3 for 12, 3 RBI, BB, 3 K, SBNolan Beltran – 4 G, 4 for 9, 2 R, 3 RBI, 9 BB, 4 K, CSRobert Phelps – 4 G, 6 for 16, 3 R, 2B, 4 RBI, 3 BB, 3 K, SBGage Wood with a little less command this week, but still outstanding results.

His fellow 2025 draft class pitchers didn’t fare as well (Bowker, Youngerman, Craig). Nolan Beltran with a fun line this week with yes, 9 walks in ju
