Is Caitlin Clark a Phillies Fan?

  • Phillies

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark tried her hand at Major League Baseball commentary in a video that went viral this week.

Not bad at all. "And that'll bring someone to the plate" is a catch phrase waiting to happen.

But the video produced more questions than answers. Why was Clark watching Phillies/Brewers? Is she a Phillies fan? A Brewers fan? A Rhys Hoskins enthusiast?

Indiana Fever beat reporter Matthew Byrne and his colleagues investigated.

"I've kinda been following the Phillies, so I kinda know some of their players."

We'll take it! Welcome to Philadelphia Phillies Nation, Caitlin Clark!

But our story doesn't end there. Tom McCarthy saw Clark's audition tape and was blown away. T-Mac extended an open invitation for Clark (and boyfriend Conor McCaffery) to join him in the Phils' broadcast booth.

Move over, Ben Davis.
