Song had been a flight officer training on a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft before transferring from active duty to reserves.
"I think really the most important thing is just recognizing the fact that I really enjoy both," Song said Thursday while sitting on top of a picnic table just beyond the left-field fence at Phillies spring training camp. "If there's nothing else to do other than the military, this is where I want to be. I'm feel really blessed and really lucky that I haven't had to do anything that I don't want to do yet.
"We feel it’s worth the gamble," Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. "We felt it was worth the upside risk. Will be able to do it? We’ll see." Song last week had his bullpen session since 2019 last week. He played catch when he could on open spaces at Naval Air Station Jacksonville.
Should he make the 26-man active roster, Song would work out of the bullpen. Dombrowski would not be surprised if Song appeared in spring training games.
