BA Grade: 50/Extreme
Track Record: Segura signed with the Phillies in 2022 and showed his potential in his first pro test in the Dominican Summer League where he struck out 39 hitters in 43 innings. He moved to the Rookie-level Florida Complex League in 2023 and continued piquing the interest of pro scouts despite underwhelming stats. He jumped to full-season ball in 2024, starting with Low-A Clearwater.
Scouting Report: Segura’s delivery features a quick arm and a unique arm slot, which adds layers of deception to his pitch mix. He works with four- and two-seam fastballs in the low 90s that play up thanks to excellent extension. He complements his heaters with a sweeping, slurvy slider in the high 70s and a mid-80s changeup that ranks as a clear third pitch and was thrown roughly 10% of the time. His well-below-average control could tick up a grade if he adds strength to his frame, which has plenty of room for remaining projection. Scouts also were heartened by Segura’s makeup on the mound. He showed plenty of competitiveness and an even-keeled attitude despite his struggles.
The Future: Segura is likely a reliever at the highest level, but he has enough upside for a bit more if he adds strength and throws more strikes.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme
Track Record: Segura was part of the Phillies 2021-2022 international signing class that included shortstop William Bergolla Jr. Segura signed out of the Dominican Republic, then spent the 2022 season in the Dominican Summer League as a 17-year-old and posted a 5-1, 2.32 mark with 39 strikeouts and 22 walks in 42.2 innings split between the rotation and relief.
Scouting Report: Segura has a projectable 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame with a long, loose arm action. His fastball averaged 91.6 mph in 2022 and got up to 95.5 mph, and he should add velocity to the pitch as he gains strength and matures. He shows feel to throw his breaking ball, an upper-70s slider that induced a 50% whiff rate in 2022. Some evaluators have graded it as an above-average offering now, with the potential to become plus in the future. He rounds out his arsenal with an average, mid-80s changeup. Segura struggled to throw strikes at times in 2022, but the organization believes he can get to average control in the future.
The Future: Segura will continue to move forward as a starter, and he should make his stateside debut as an 18-year-old in the Florida Complex League in 2023.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60. Slider: 55. Changeup; 50. Control: 50.
