The Philadelphia Phillies have signed first baseman Seth Beer, assigning him to Double-A Reading after his stint with the Atlantic League’s Long Island Ducks, where he played 14 games and recorded a .239/.426/.565 batting line with four home runs. Beer, a former first-round pick by the Astros in 2018, has had limited major league experience but boasts a career minor league batting average of .278/.376/.475. His impressive plate discipline and power during his time with the Ducks caught the attention of the Phillies, earning him another chance in affiliated baseball.
