Don't forget about Ben Lively.

The 24-year-old right-hander, considered the Phillies' No. 14 prospect in 2015 by MLB.com before dropping out of their top 30 prior to the 2016 season, showed last week why he could still be of considerable value to his organization.

Lively tossed scoreless outings last Monday and then again Sunday for Double-A Reading en route to winning the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week award. Between the two starts, he struck out 11 without walking a batter and scattered six hits over 13 combined innings.

Lively's April 18 start at Richmond was perhaps his best at the Double-A level in his second season there since being acquired from the Reds for outfielder Marlon Byrd in December 2014. He allowed only two hits and struck out five while needing only 84 pitches (62 strikes) to work seven scoreless frames. Interestingly, the right-hander went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBIs, meaning he reached base more times during his time in the game than the entire Flying Squirrels lineup.

Another six scoreless innings Sunday at home against New Hampshire lowered the Florida native's ERA to 1.50 through four starts (24 innings). His 27 strikeouts lead the Eastern League, while his 0.75 WHIP ranks second. These are early days, of course, but those are encouraging results after he posted a 4.13 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 111 strikeouts in 143 2/3 innings last season.

"Last year I felt more like I had to do everything myself, like I had to dominate every single inning and every single batter," he told MiLB.com. "But this year I'm just pitching to where I know I can pitch. I'm throwing quality strikes and getting quick innings, and everything else gets put together easy if you can do that."
