Player Notes
| The former 2011 first rounder has a lot going for him, which helps explain why he was snapped up with the first pick in the 2015 Rule 5 Draft. He can play all three outfield positions, and this versatility may prove to work in his benefit, especially with the Phillies’ loss of Aaron Altherr to a wrist injury for what may be the entire season. Goeddel, who moved to the outfield from third base, hit .269 in 2014 with 6 HRs, 61 RBIs and 20 SBs along with 25 doubles at Charlotte (High A). Neat personal note: While both Goeddel and his older brother, Erik, are pro baseball players (Erik pitches for the Mets), their dad David is the most accomplished professional of all of them,a pioneer in the area of biotechnology. |
