The first half of the 2018 season is coming to a end, and we have three players to watch for this weekends series.

For the final time in the first half, the Phillies and Marlins will face each other from Miami for three games.

Here’s three players you should watch for the three-game series.

Rhys Hoskins. 3. team. 6. . .

It was only a few days ago that the MLB announced Rhys Hoskins will be making his first appearance in the Home Run Derby. You could expect him to be getting in some practice against these failing Miami Marlins this weekend.

Hoskins is 5-for-21 against the Marlins with five runs batted in this season. He has produced a .238/..414/.318 slash line against Miami.

The twenty-five year old has fourteen home runs this season and is entering game one of the series with a .254 batting average. He is looking to make his 300th plate appearance this season.
