Things have only improved for the  21-year-old Germantown Friends graduate.

"Baseball America, which is, you might be surprised to find out, a magazine that  exclusively covers baseball, named Biddle the organization's top prospect."

You can read about Biddle's reaction to this pretty-cool news on Philly.com. He seems to be taking an "aw, shucks" approach to the honor, saying that he wants to keep "working as hard as I can."
