Hall had his moments against some pretty good pitchers in 2022, homering off of Miles Mikolas and doubling off of Sandy Alcantara, Spencer Strider, Marcus Stroman and Giovanny Gallegos.
"For me, when I got to the big leagues, the wanting-to-get-to-the-big-leagues drive, that was satisfied, so what took over was just pure performance. All I want to do is get the most out of my ability and play the best that I can, and it actually helped me center my focus. That's why I think when I did get the call last year, when I got there, I was able to play with confidence, I felt relaxed. In my head, all I had to do was focus on one thing.
The ability to play center field will factor into the Phils' decision-making because they need a backup for Marsh. Sosa could see some time in center field throughout camp, but president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said last week that the Phillies will need to carry a backup center fielder irrespective of Sosa's work at the position.
"I've been taking fly balls in batting practice, power shagging. I had a day with Paco in the stadium where we just did some one-on-one work. Now it's about application. I like to watch other people, so now that I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do, watching the people that have done it for a while, that's the way you're going to grow."
