Kuhns has spent the last two seasons pitching for the Sioux City Explorers of the independent American Association after spending the previous four years in the New York Mets' minor-league system.

For his minor-league career, the twenty-eight-year-old holds a decent 3.56 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts over 48 innings of work. He's made five starts, 31 relief appearances and holds a 1-2 record.

Kuhns has yet to pitch above the High-A level, however, the Phillies clearly see something they like in him and are willing to give him an opportunity to prove them right.

He is a former 21st-round pick by the Mets in the 2016 MLB Draft.
