DeVonta Smith held his third annual celebrity softball game and had four hits while a newcomer, cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, won the home run derby
ALLENTOWN – DeVonta Smith did his best Kyle Schwarber impersonation, homering to lead off the bottom of the first inning of his third annual celebrity softball game at Coca-Cola Stadium, the home of the Phillies’ Triple-A affiliate Allentown Iron Pigs, on Saturday afternoon.
The Eagles receiver tattooed a pitch over the left field, makeshift short fence the way Schwarber, the Phillies’ designated hitter who was just placed on the IL with a groin strain, does with regularity leading off games in major-league stadiums. Smith did almost everything right on the day, except for one prediction he made. He said that he believed Brown would win the pre-game Home Run Derby.

I’m not saying we’re out here recruiting, but when it comes down to it, that’s probably something they think about.”
