Phillies promote 1B prospect Darick Hall to Double-A Reading

By Matt Rappa, Sports Talk Philly editor

A slew of roster moves has taken place within the Philadelphia Phillies organization in recent days, including the promotions of Dylan Cozens, Mark Leiter Jr. and Mitch Walding to the big league club.

The same can be said down at the minor league level, with Harold Arauz — who threw a no-hitter last July — and southpaw Jeff Singer promoted to Double-A Reading, and southpaw Tom Windle and right-hander Tom Eshelman promoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

On Friday, the Phillies advanced another prospect within their farm system — slugging first baseman Darick Hall — to Double-A Reading, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia's Jim Salisbury.

Hall leads all Florida State League Class-A Advanced batters in home runs and ranks third in RBI, behind only Nathaniel Lowe (43) and Joe Dunand (39).

Hall, 22, was selected in the 14th round of the 2016 amateur draft out of Dallas Baptist University.
