Tue Apr 19 201604:29CF Odubel Herrera 1-3 with walk Monday in Phillies' loss to Mets
CF Odubel Herrera went 1-for-3 with a walk Monday in the Phillies' loss to the Mets. He has 13 walks in 57 plate appearances this season. Eight have come in the last four games, and his streak of five games with at least one walk is the longest of his career. He walked just 28 times in 537 plate appearances as a rookie last season. "It's hard to figure," manager Pete Mackanin said. "A guy I consider a free swinger has shown a lot of good plate discipline. ... He's a winning player." Mackanin, however, is hesitant to make Herrera his leadoff hitter. "We need hitters in the middle of the order," he said. "We need hitters up and down the lineup. We just need more offense. It's as simple as that."
Mon Apr 18 201602:17OF Odubel Herrera issued 11th walk Saturday night

CF Odubel Herrera drew three walks against the Padres on Thursday, giving him eight free passes over the first 10 games of the season. That is a huge improvement from last year for the 24-year-old, when he walked just 28 times and struck out 129 times in his rookie season.

CF Odubel Herrera went 1-for-4 Wednesday against the Padres, scoring a run after legging out an infield hit in the third inning and continuing to second on an errant throw by San Diego 2B Cory Spangenberg. It was the fourth straight day Herrera sparked the offense. On Tuesday, he contributed an RBI triple in a 3-0 victory over the Padres, and on Monday he drove in a run with an opposite-field single on an 0-2 pitch. He also hit a two-run homer on Sunday off the Mets' Matt Harvey. "He's obviously an unorthodox hitter," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said of Herrera. "Mechanics are important, but having the ability to put the barrel of the bat on the ball and stay on the ball is probably the most important thing. ... It's hard to pitch around Herrera, because he'll hit good pitches, he'll hit bad pitches. You can teach certain fundamentals about hitting, but to me it's like teaching somebody how to ride a bike or ice skate. You have to learn on your own."
Mon Apr 11 201621:51CF Odubel Herrera 2-4 with RBI in Monday's loss to Padres
CF Odubel Herrera went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's loss to the Padres. The lefty-hitting Herrera, batting just .182 entering the game, slapped an 0-2 fastball the opposite way for a run-scoring single in the fourth inning. Almost as impressive to manager Pete Mackanin was his running catch on Jon Jay's shot to the wall in the eighth inning. Herrera, a converted infielder, had been shaky in the outfield early last season, but Mackanin has often praised him for the extra defensive work he has put in.

CF Odubel Herrera hit his first homer of the season Sunday, a two-run shot in the sixth inning of the Phillies' 5-2 win over the Mets. The homer gave the Phillies a 3-0 lead and provided valuable insurance for RHP Jeremy Hellickson, who gave up a two-run homer to Mets CF Yoenis Cespedes in the bottom of the sixth. Herrera is batting .182 with three RBIs in six games this season.
Sun Oct 4 201512:16Herrera out of lineup Sunday against Marlins
Herrera is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.
Herrera will end the season on the Phillies' bench for each of the last two games, but that shouldn't put a damper on what has been an excellent debut year for the Rule 5 selection. Over 535 plate appearances this season, the 23-year-old Herrera has slashed .296/.342/.415 with eight homers and 16 steals, accumulating 3.8 WAR in the process, per FanGraphs. He should be in line to serve as the Phillies' starting center fielder in 2016.
Tue Sep 29 201522:54Herrera 4-4 with run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Mets
Herrera went 4-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over the Mets.
Herrera broke out of a 2-for-22 slump in spectacular fashion, posting his second career four-hit game. The 23-year-old has been a ray of hope in the Phillies' dismal season, showing a nice mix of some power and speed. Herrera has smacked 27 doubles and eight homers, while legging out three triples and swiping 15 bags. He has received steady playing time all season long, and figures to head into the 2016 campaign as Philadelphia's starting center fielder.
Sun Sep 27 201513:11Herrera out of lineup Sunday against Nationals
