With only one professional season under his belt, Gabriel Rincones Jr. is quickly emerging as one of the Philadelphia Phillies' best prospects. This week, he visits the Jack Vita Show to talk baseball, growing up in Scotland, pickleball, life, his Christian faith, and more!
The Phillies selected Rincones out of Florida Atlantic University in the third round of the 2022 MLB Amateur Draft. Rincones was unable to play in a professional game that season, upon being drafted, as he rehabbed a preexisting shoulder injury.
Rincones made his pro debut in 2023, appearing in 120 games between High-A Jersey Shore and Single-A Clearwater, slashing a cumulative .248/.351/.778 with 15 home runs and 61 RBI on the year. Rincones also played in the Arizona Fall League, where he broke out, slashing .293/.426/.889 with two home runs and 14 RBI across 22 games for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Rincones was named a Fall Star, earning a start in the 2023 Fall Stars Game. He also participated in the Home Run Derby.
Rincones has lived a very unique life. His father, Gabriel Rincones Sr., was a minor league pitcher who played in the Seattle Mariners' farm system. Rincones Jr. spent parts of childhood in Venezuela, Scotland and Florida. Rincones lived in Scotland for six years.
Rincones currently ranks as the no. 9 prospect in the Phillies' farm system, according to MLB Pipeline.
Rincones visits the Jack Vita Show to discuss his time playing in the Fall League. What was he working on, and what did he learn? How did he enjoy the experience? Rincones also opens up and discusses his Christian faith. At what point in Gabriel's life did he become a Christian and put Christ at the center of his life? How has Jesus changed his life, since Gabe made a commitment to follow him? Gabe shares about what it was like growing up in Scotland. He also discusses personal hobbies such as FIFA, pickleball and Spikeball. All this, and much more!
