“Baby Ace” Colvin Promoted to Double-A Reading

Brody Colvin, 21, was promoted to Double-A Reading today according to his management group, Sosnick Cobbe Sports, and confirmed by Matt Gelb. Colvin is the second “Baby Ace” to be promoted this week, replacing fellow promoted “Baby Ace” Jonathan Pettibone in the R-Phils’ rotation. Colvin’s placement may be a bit more aggressive as he was not showing signs of an equally solid season. Colvin posted a 4.27 ERA for High-A Clearwater, with a WHIP of 1.557, averaging less than a strikeout per inning. Colvin turns 22 in August and compiled his stats across 18 starts and 5 relief appearances for Clearwater.
