Hoskins:

  • Home: 70 Gms., 250 AB, a .292 Avg., 25 HR, 65 RBI and a 1.032 OPS.
  • Away: 65 Gms., 248 AB, a .270 Avg., 13 HR, 51 RBI and an .853 OPS.

Cozens:

  • Home: 68 Gms., 258 AB, a .295 Avg., 29 HR, 83 RBI and a 1.118 OPS.
  • Away: 66 Gms., 263 AB, a .259 Avg., 11 HR, 42 RBI and a .766 OPS.

When it comes to right fielder Dylan Cozens, the home stats take on more importance because it could have been due to a hitter-friendly ballpark. However, it might have been a cheering crowd urging him to produce. Or his friendly competition with Hoskins was the reason, which could mean that trend will continue in Allentown against better pitching. That said, the corner outfielder and left-side hitter only has to replace a stopgap in July.

If outfielder Roman Quinn has a healthy campaign, he will be the first outfielder promoted. And remember, he would have been a starter in April if he had been injury-free in 2016. After July, however, the Phillies could have two outfield openings, and the speed merchant will bat first or second after his call-up.
