Former MSU 1B Brock Vradenburg signs deal with Philadelphia Phillies
A former Spartans first baseman has signed with the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
Brock Vradenburg signed a minor league deal with the Philadelphia Phillies earlier this week. He has been sent to the Phillies' high-A affiliate the Jersey Shore BlueClaws.
Vradenburg was cut be the Miami Marlins earlier this week after a rough couple of seasons within the organization. He was selected by the Marlins in the third round of the 2023 MLB Draft, but was hitting just above .200 in his two years with organization and never reached higher than high-A ball with the organization.
Vradenburg played three seasons for the Spartans from 2021 to 2023. During his three years as a Spartan, he hit .326 with 18 home runs and 108 RBIs.
