What was the error with Hoskins and Phillies?

The error with Hoiskins and the Phillies was when Rhys Hoskins failed to knock down a hard-hit ball from Matt Olson at first base.

Matt Olson stroked a ground ball toward Hoskins at first base. Hoskins bent and tried to backhand the ball, however, it hit off his glove, rolling into right field to score the first run of the game from second base.

The ball kept alive an inning that would end with the Phils in a three-run hole. The play was ruled an RBI single by the hometown official scorer even though it should have been an error.

According to Rhys Hoskins, he misjudged the play and thought the ball which had an exit velocity of 101.3 mph left Olson’s bat faster than it actually did.

Rhys Hoskins made his professional debut in 2014 with the Class A Short Season Williamsport Crosscutters of the New York–Penn League.

Rhys Hoskins became the third rookie in franchise history to have extra-base hits in six consecutive games on August 28, 2017.

In the 2022 regular season, Rhys Hoskins batted .246/.332/.462 in 589 at bats with 81 runs, 33 doubles, 30 home runs, 79 RBIs, and 169 strikeouts (6th).
