Daily News | Source: Phillies prospect Daniel Brito cleared to attend minor-league spring training
Phillies infield prospect Daniel Brito was cleared by doctors to attend Phillies minor-league spring training, and will be heading to Clearwater on Sunday, a source confirmed to The Inquirer. The Athletic was first to report the news.
Brito, 24, was playing in a game for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs when he collapsed on the field on July 30, 2021, the result of a seizure and internal brain bleeding. He was in a coma for a month, and underwent two brain surgeries following the incident.When Brito started undergoing physical therapy last year, the doctors were unsure whether he would be able to live a normal life, let alone get back on the field.
Brito signed with the Phillies for $650,000 in 2014, starting his career in the Dominican Summer League in 2015, jumping to rookie ball in 2016, and continuing to climb up the Phillies’ minor-league ladder. By 2021, he reached double A, slashing .296/.363/.458 with the Reading Fightin Phils. Just before his accident, he made his triple-A debut in Lehigh Valley, slashing .286/.375/.607 through eight games played. Because of the damage to his brain, he has no recollection of his time in triple A.
