The Phillies selected Jon Pettibone in the third round of the 2008 Amateur Draft. He attended Esperanza High School in Anaheim, Calif.
The 21-year old, 6’5 right-hander is having the best season of his four-year minor league career.
His father, Jay Pettibone, had a short four-game stint in the bigs for the 1983 Minnesota Twins. Charlie Manuel managed Jay in 1984 for the Orlando Twins, Minnesota’s Double-A affiliate.
Jon Pettibone hopes to play for Manuel a couple years from now for the Phillies.
