Daily News | Phillies promote pitching prospect Griff McGarry to triple A
Less than a week after shifting to a relief role in double A to gauge his viability as a late-season bullpen option in the majors, McGarry is being promoted to triple-A Lehigh Valley, the Phillies announced Monday via their player-development Twitter account.
McGarry, a fifth-round draft pick last year out of the University of Virginia, has a 3.18 ERA in 79⅓ innings this season. He’s the oldest of the Phillies’ big three pitching prospects. But unlike Andrew Painter and Mick Abel, there’s a path for him to reach the majors this season because the bullpen ranks have been thinned by injuries to Seranthony Domínguez and Corey Knebel.
“He looked great,” Mattingly said. “Griff’s looked good all year. I think for him it’s more just continuing to control his emotions. He’s a very competitive kid who wants to come on the attack. His stuff was really good. I think the strikes were good enough. He’s one of these guys where, if he gets ahead in the count, we feel really comfortable with what’s going to happen going forward.”
