Gulf Coast League Phillies
The Gulf Coast League Phillies are a minor league baseball team located at the Carpenter Complex, in Clearwater, Florida. A member of the rookie-level Gulf Coast League, the Phillies are an affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. The team is composed mainly of players who are in their first year of professional baseball as either draftees or non-drafted free agents from the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and various other countries.
The GCL Phillies played some games at the Joe DiMaggio Complex in Clearwater in 2009 while the Carpenter Complex was being renovated. The GCL Phillies also play some home games at Bright House Field.
Beginning in the 2018 season, the Phillies have fielded two GCL teams, "East" and "West", originally named for the divisions in which they competed. In 2019, both teams compete in the North division.
