June 27, 200916 yr JPN beat me to it on FutureSox We assumed it for a while, but still exciting to see Phegley start his pro career.
June 27, 200916 yr Hopefully he advances quickly. If he can work on his lateral movement and quickness behind the plate, he could be a very solid catching option, especially if he hits like he is capable of.
June 27, 200916 yr I think the more important part is him showing he can hit with a wooden bat. That's a big question mark with him.
June 27, 200916 yr It will be interesting to see how quickly he trails Flowers, or if Flowers starts to play another position at all.

Yeah, he was so-so in the Cod League. He was an all-star and then got hurt. Didn't play last summer. Not much in the way of wood bat success, but in my search to see what he did in the Cape I found this BA article. Phegley looking to prove he's an all-around catcher
June 27, 200916 yr QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) When did he get signed!!? Announced today on whitesox.com On Saturday, the White Sox announced another future backstop standout had entered the organization. Josh Phegley was one of six selections the team announced it had come to terms with from the 2009 First-Year Player Draft. Right-handed pitchers Matthew Heidenreich (fourth round), Kyle Bellamy (fifth round) and Jimmy Ballinger (11th round) joined Phegley, the 38th overall pick from Indiana University, infielder Jared McDonald (21st round) and first baseman Leighton Pangilinan (40th round) on that list.
