Trending Up: Darick Hall, 1B, Clearwater
“Hall Smash,” Darick Hall, probably. After breaking Lakewood’s home run record a year ago, Hall has kept up his power numbers in Clearwater. He is one of the best power-hitters in the Phillies system right now.
As of May 16th, Hall was hitting .274 with 10 home runs and 28 RBIs in 37 games. Usually a power hitter’s on-base numbers are low and his strikeout numbers are high. That is not the case with Hall.
Coming into play on May 17th, Hall had struck out just 32 times in 135 at-bats and was posting a .353 OBP and an OPS of .901.
Hall has the chance to rise up through the system this summer. If he can find a way to keep his average up and keep mashing home runs, the buzz around Darick Hall will keep growing.
