MLB Philadelphia Phillies star Rhys Hoskins played with the Sydney Blue Sox
Hoskins made his Major League debut in August 2017. He became the first player in MLB history to record eight home runs and 19 RBIs in his first 15 games. The Blue Sox have a couple of Pittsburgh Pirates in their ranks as they prepare for the 2022/23 season. Australia offers players many advantages over other leagues around the world. Shipley believes Philadelphia can upset the Houston Astros in the World Series. Houston has not lost a playoff game on the way to the championship. They have one of the greatest pitching rosters in baseball. Philadelphia has a five-day layoff. It's possible Houston can still win the series.
