*Top Hitter of the Day* 

• Jhailyn Ortiz, DH – Clearwater Threshers – Philadelphia Phillies – – 2-4, 2 HR (9,10), 2R, 4RBi, BB – – Ortiz is another top prospect (see Lewis below) playing in the FSL who’s struggled to get things going all season. The eleventh ranked prospect in the Phillies system (Pipeline), the 6’3″- 215 lb. righty clubbed two home runs in a game for the first time in his career. Ortiz’ two blasts drove in four runs, while leadoff hitter, shortstop Nick Maton drove in four of his own, knocking his fourth home run on the year, a grand slam over the right field wall in the second inning, helping lead Clearwater to a 12-7 win over Bradenton.
