New Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson was over at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday afternoon with a couple of his players to participate in their yearly batting practice competition before a Phillies game.
"Can they play the outfield?" may be the question in your head before you actually watch the above video, but honestly, nobody showed a ton of pop.
Returning Eagles BP Champ Jon Dorenbos showed a little bit of magic at the dish but it was Zach Ertz who took home the 2016 crown. Ertz needed to win a "hit-off" with Trey Burton to bring home the championship.
Bennie Logan though? He did his best Ryan Howard impression as you can see. He'd fit right in this Phillies lineup.
Everybody does not hit.

If we say "coach" will they both turn around? pic.twitter.com/CBrGQ4pV66— Phillies (@Phillies) June 2, 2016
