Ken Giles – Phillies/P (2014-15) Flamethrower Ken Giles and his 100 mph fastball rose quickly up the minor league ranks, making his Phillies debut on June 12th, 2014. Giles gave up a homer to Yasmani Grandal, the first batter he faced in his MLB debut.  But there were bright spots during Giles’ time with the Phils. On September 1st, 2014, Giles was part of the Phillies combined no-hitter, when he, Cole Hamels, Jake Diekman, and Jonathan Papelbon combined to no-hit the Atlanta braves in a 7-0 Phillies win.  Giles was 4th in NL Rookie of the Year voting for 2014.
