Richy

Acquired from the Dodgers in 2015 as part of the Chase Utley trade, Richy had registered a 6.81 ERA, 1.85 WHIP, and 23/11 K/BB ratio in 38 1/3 innings this season between Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He was a third-round selection of the Dodgers in 2014 out of UNLV.

A third-round pick of the Dodgers in 2014, Richy is 10-5 with a 4.20 ERA in 124 1/3 innings with High-A Rancho Cucamonga this season. The 23-year-old is still a few years away but could slide into the back end of the Phillies starting rotation at some point.

He scattered four hits and one walk but had to settle for a no-decision. Richy was acquired last week in a trade that sent Chase Utley to Los Angeles. Richy hasn’t fooled many hitters this year, posting a .282 average against with an underwhelming 1.39 WHIP. With that said, it’s way too early to give up on the former third-round pick.
