Daily News | Phillies opting for Cristian Pache over Brandon Marsh against left-handers
officials have said they intend for center fielder Brandon Marsh to play every day, against right-handed pitchers and lefties.The Phillies have faced a left-handed starting pitcher in five of 13 games, including the Reds’ Nick Lodolo in Thursday night’s series opener. Marsh, a left-handed hitter, has started only one of those games despite going 4-for-11 with three doubles and a homer so far against lefties.
“Pache is making a lot of improvement,” Thomson said. “He did have good at-bats against this guy the other day.” Marsh struggled in 105 plate appearances against lefties last season. But Long made a priority of working with him in the offseason to spur improvement. Marsh homered this week against Marlins lefty reliever Devin Smeltzer. In his lone start against a lefty, he doubled against the Yankees’ Nestor Cortes on April 3.
“It seems like there’s part of the game where he loses the strike zone, and that’s not typical of him,” Thomson said. “He’s a strike-thrower. He goes deep in the game. I expect that to happen.”
