Philadelphia Phillies

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: Baker was a catcher in high school who converted to pitching as a freshman at Chipola (Fla.) JC, and after striking out 92 batters in 57.1 innings in 2021 the Phillies drafted him in the 11th round. He struggled in a 2021 pro debut mostly spent at Low-A Clearwater, but showed an electric arsenal at High-A Jersey Shore in 2022 en route to receiving a promotion to Double-A Reading, where he closed the season with six appearances.

Scouting Report: Baker has a dominant two-pitch mix, and after maxing out at around 96 mph in 2021, he now averages 98 mph on his fastball and tops out at 101 mph, with above-average spin. Although his fastball is an impressive offering, his curveball is his best pitch, and generated whiffs over 62% of the time during the 2022 season. It's a true swing-and-miss offering that sat just under 84 mph and topped out at 87.4 mph, with heavy, two-plane break. He struggled to command both pitches to begin the 2022 season, but members of the organization felt he improved his command, as well as his strike-throwing and mound presence, as the year progressed.

The Future: Some opposing evaluators are skeptical of Baker's ability to throw enough strikes long term to be anything more than an up/down emergency reliever, but he made improvements this season and has the stuff to profile as a lockdown closer. He'll likely begin the 2023 season back at Double-A Reading.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 65. Curveball: 70. Control: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: Morales entered the 2021 season as the Phillies No. 4 prospect but struggled mightily in his first stint in the upper minors, posting a 6.94 ERA in 22 appearances (20 starts) at Double-A Reading. He moved to the bullpen full-time in 2022 and dominated Reading over the first month before receiving his first promotion to the big leagues. After making two appearances in the big leagues, Morales spent the rest of the season mostly split between Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley, where he showcased swing-and-miss stuff but lacked consistency.

Scouting Report: Morales has long struggled to throw consistent strikes, as was the case once again in 2022. The 6-foot-5 righthander had a tendency to get behind in the count, which made it more difficult for him to use his wipeout offering, a hard mid-80s slider that induced whiffs over 57% of the time in 2022. Morales pairs the plus offering with a fastball that averaged 94.9 mph and topped out at 98.7 mph in 2022. Morales struggles to command the pitch well, often throwing it over the middle of the plate. He ditched his below-average changeup after moving to the bullpen, relying entirely on his fastball and slider. His pitches play up thanks to the deception generated from his crossfire delivery, but he needs to establish a consistent release point to throw more strikes moving forward.

The Future: Morales will likely start the 2023 season back at Lehigh Valley, but could quickly join the Phillies bullpen as a high-leverage weapon to complement Seranthony Dominguez.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. Slider: 60. Control: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme

Track Record: Bergolla Jr., the son of William Bergolla, who played in 17 games for the Reds in 2005 and had a 10-year minor league career, was one of the top international signings in the 2021-2022 class. Bergolla Jr. received a $2.05 million signing bonus, and started his minor league career as a 17-year-old in the Dominican Summer League, where he posted a .380/.470/.423 slash line and walked more times (11) than he struck out (three).

Scouting Report: Bergolla Jr. stands out for his above-average hitting ability and smooth defense at shortstop, where he has the instincts and speed to stick long term. Bergolla has a compact, quick swing with strong bat-to-ball skills and the ability to hit to all fields. He does a good job of recognizing pitches and makes a high rate of contact, with good bat control. At 5-foot-10, 155 pounds, he doesn't hit for much power--just 5% of his balls in play were hit 95 mph or higher--but he should add more strength in the future and get to below-average power. It's likely going to be more gap-to-gap power than over-the-fence juice in the future, and Bergolla has the skill set that fits as a table setter at the top or bottom of the lineup. He's an effective basestealer with plus speed and good baserunning skills, which led to eight stolen bases in nine tries in his debut. The organization was pleased with his work at shortstop in 2022, citing his impressive actions, and he profiles as an above-average defender with an above-average arm.

The Future: Bergolla should make his stateside debut in the Florida Complex League in 2023. He's years away from making an impact in the big leagues, but he profiles as a high-contact table setter who provides above-average defense at shortstop.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 55. Power: 35. Speed: 60. Fielding: 55. Arm: 55.

BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme

Track Record: In their previous signing class, the Phillies' top signing was William Bergolla, a slick-fielding shortstop with a slender 5-foot-10 frame. Their top player for January 2023 is Caba, another 5-foot-10 shortstop with smooth defensive actions from the Dominican Republic.

Scouting Report: He's an athletic defender and a plus runner with quick feet, soft hands and a solid-average arm that should tick up to become another plus tool. For a player with a smaller frame, Caba has some sneaky pop and strength in his swing from both sides of the plate, with a chance to be a 15-20 home run hitter.

The Future: He should make his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 40. Speed: 60. Field: 60. Arm: 55.

BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme

Track Record: Viars was an under-the-radar talent coming into the 2021 draft, but the Phillies were intrigued with his offensive upside and signed him to an over-slot $747,500 bonus in the third round. Viars only has 225 at-bats since getting drafted. He missed time during the 2022 season after fracturing his wrist and later spraining his ankle, and he accumulated just eight games at the full-season level with Low-A Clearwater.

Scouting Report: Viars has an advanced approach at the plate with solid bat speed, seeing the ball well and doing a good job of putting balls in play, but he struggles against spin and some opposing scouts were concerned with the quality of his at-bats. At 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, Viars has the potential to be an average to above-average power hitter, and he's put on impressive displays in batting practice, but he struggled to make consistent hard contact in 2022, with an average exit velocity under 86 mph. He has some length in his swing, and he needs to do a better job of working longer counts and finding the right pitches to hit--aspects that should improve with more at-bats. Viars is a good athlete with solid speed now, although he's likely to slow down as he puts on muscle. He's raw defensively, and there's a split camp as to whether he will be more than a below-average defender in an outfield corner.

The Future: After missing the majority of the season due to injuries, Viars will look to get a full season under his belt at the Class A levels in 2023. He shows potential as a bat-first, power-hitting corner outfielder.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 45. Power: 55. Speed: 40. Fielding: 40. Arm: 45.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: Crouse has struggled with injuries since being selected by the Rangers in the second round in 2017, but he posted a 5-4, 3.28 record with 98 strikeouts in 85 innings in 2021 and was acquired by the Phillies as part of the trade that netted the club righthanders Kyle Gibson and Ian Kennedy at the 2021 trade deadline. Crouse, who made his MLB debut in September of 2021, missed the majority of the 2022 season with tendinitis in his right biceps and made just five starts for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Scouting Report: Crouse has flashed a pair of plus pitches in the past, but his fastball velocity regressed in 2021, topping out around 94 mph after previously sitting in the mid 90s and touching 97 mph. The pitch has quality sinking action, but averaged just 91.5 mph in 2022 in five starts, and with the velocity regression profiles more as an average pitch. Crouse's hard upper-80s slider with late diving action is his best swing-and-miss offering, and gives him a plus pitch. He developed a changeup during the 2019 season, and it's a potentially above-average weapon. Crouse is a solid strike-thrower with average control, but his violent delivery has led to significant injury concerns. With only 259.2 innings logged in five minor league seasons, it seems increasingly likely that Crouse is best suited for the bullpen.

The Future: Crouse should be ready to help the Phillies bullpen early in the 2023 season, and he could be used in a piggyback relief role.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 50. Slider: 60. Changeup: 55. Control: 50.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Perez was the centerpiece of the Phillies 2020-2021 international signing class and agreed to a $1.2 million deal out of Venezuela. He posted solid numbers as a 17-year-old in the Dominican Summer League in 2021, then had an impressive stateside debut in the Florida Complex League in 2022, where he slashed .349/.387/.398 in 30 games, despite missing time with a knee injury suffered in April.

Scouting Report: Perez is a bat-first catcher with a smooth swing from the left side, with quick bat speed, feel for the barrel and good bat-to-ball skills. He has an aggressive approach at the plate, with a high chase rate and well below-average power currently. The Phillies believe he will add more power as he matures, thanks in part to his bat control, but some opposing scouts are skeptical that he will ever hit for much impact. He struggled to make hard contact and had an 83.8 mph average exit velocity in 2022. Perez has solid catch-and-throw skills and an average arm, but he isn't a standout athlete, with bottom-of-the-scale speed, and will need to improve his conditioning to prevent injuries moving forward.

The Future: With power gains Perez could profile as a second-division regular, although some opposing scouts feel he's more likely to be an emergency up/down catcher. He will make his full-season debut at Low-A Clearwater in 2023 as a 19-year-old.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 50. Power: 30. Speed: 20. Fielding: 45. Arm: 50.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: McGowan had an impressive 2021 season at Eastern Oklahoma JC, where he struck out 109 batters in 74 innings, and the Phillies selected him in the seventh round and gave him an over-slot $577,000 bonus. He pitched just five innings in his pro debut in 2021 due to minor injuries, and only made two starts in 2022 for High-A Jersey Shore--after an impressive showing in spring training--before having Tommy John surgery.

Scouting Report: McGowan has an effective three-pitch mix, with a four-seam fastball with sinking action that sat 94-97 mph during 2021 instructs and averaged 93.3 mph in his two starts in 2022. The pitch projects as above-average thanks to its hard movement in the zone, and should be a weapon that gives hitters headaches. He pairs it with a hard, mid-80s slider with above-average spin that induced whiffs at a 42.9% rate in his two starts and projects as an above-average or better offering. He didn't use his changeup in his two starts in 2022, but in the past it was a weapon for attacking lefties in the upper 80s with good deception that flashed above-average. McGowan has a repeatable delivery with three intriguing pitches, but his strike-throwing issues in the past likely make him a better option out of the bullpen, where his mix should play up.

The Future: McGowan will likely spend most of the 2023 season back at High-A Jersey Shore. Assuming he stays healthy, he could emerge as a high-leverage option out of the bullpen for later in the 2024 season.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. Slider: 60. Changeup: 50. Control: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Ottenbreit was one of the top prep arms in Michigan in the 2021 draft class, and the Phillies nabbed him with a fourth-round pick and signed him to an over-slot $772,500 bonus. He made five appearances in the Florida Complex League in 2021 before impressing with his performance in instructional league. After making a pair of starts for Low-A Clearwater in 2022, Ottenbreit was shut down and had Tommy John surgery.

Scouting Report: Ottenbreit has an intriguing three-pitch mix from the right side, with a fastball that sits in the low 90s and tops out at 95 mph, with more velocity possible as he fills out his 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame. His mid-70s curveball has the potential to be a plus pitch, with spin rates that registered over 3,000 rpm at instructional league. He struggles to command it at times, but it has the potential to be a swing-and-miss weapon as he gets more innings under his belt. Ottenbreit rounds out his arsenal with a low-80s changeup that he's shown feel to throw, with solid velocity separation off his fastball. He has a repeatable delivery, but struggled to throw strikes during his brief pro tenure and needs to work on his pitch sequencing.

The Future: Ottenbreit should head back to Low-A Clearwater for the 2023 season. With three average or better offerings and the potential for average control he projects as a back-end starter.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 50. Curveball: 60. Changeup: 50. Control: 45.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: De La Cruz went under the radar as a high school senior in 2017 and wasn't selected in the 40-round draft, but an impressive showing during the travel ball circuit that summer led the Phillies to sign him as a nondrafted free agent. After struggling in full-season ball in 2019 and 2021, De La Cruz took a huge step forward in 2022 with High-A Jersey Shore. He slashed .266/.344/.463 with 10 homers before posting an .825 OPS in 38 games with Double-A Reading. He ended the season with a 17-game stint in the Arizona Fall League. De La Cruz was left unprotected for the 2022 MLB Rule 5 Draft.

Scouting Report: De La Cruz stands out for his massive 6-foot-8 frame and plus-plus raw power, as evidenced by his 108.6 mph 90th percentile exit velocity, which led to a career-high 17 home runs in 2022. De La Cruz does struggle to consistently get to his power, however, due to his long levers and tendency to chase out of the zone. While he was at Jersey Shore he worked to sync up all parts of his body, shortening his movements and swing while concentrating on staying on pitches to hit. He needs to improve his approach and cut down on his swing-and-miss and chase rates moving forward, and due to his long levers and aggressive approach he's unlikely to be more than a 40-grade hitter. The organization believes he can stick in an outfield corner moving forward, but opposing scouts view him as a below-average defender who's more suited for first base, with below-average speed.

The Future: Few players within the organization improved as much in 2022 as De La Cruz. He has the potential to be a 30-home run, 175-strikeout player in the major leagues, but he'll need to cut down on his swing-and-miss to get to that point. He'll start 2023 back at Double-A Reading.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 40. Power: 60. Speed: 40. Fielding: 40. Arm: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Estanista, signed by the Phillies in November 2019 from Curacao, had his development stunted due to the coronavirus pandemic and didn't make his professional debut until 2021, when he posted a 3.23 ERA in 30.2 innings in the Dominican Summer League. He made his stateside debut in 2022, boasting a 3-0, 2.01 mark with 14 hits allowed and 35 strikeouts in 31.1 innings in the Florida Complex League.

Scouting Report: Estanista has an easy delivery out of his athletic 6-foot-3 frame, and routinely gets his fastball into the mid 90s and tops out at 98.3 mph, with room for more velocity gains in the future. Opposing scouts think the fastball has the potential to be a plus-plus offering out of the bullpen, with heavy riding life, above-average spin and good deception. He mixes in a high-80s changeup with huge velocity separation off his fastball. The pitch is average, with the potential to improve to above-average thanks to his ability to sell the pitch, although it lacks much movement. He rounds out his arsenal with a big breaking ball in the low 80s that showed improvement in 2022 and served as a swing-and-miss pitch, but he needs to improve his feel for spin. He struggles with his command at times and lacks repeatability, but impressed with his ability to adjust and improve in 2022. Estanista could move quickly in a bullpen role, but if he can improve his control and sharpen his curveball the Phillies could continue to use him as a starter.

The Future: Estanista should make his full-season debut at Low-A Clearwater in 2023, with a high-octane fastball capable of giving hitters headaches at the back of a bullpen.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 65. Curveball: 45. Changeup: 50. Control: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Ortiz was a big-money signing out of the Dominican Republic in 2015, but he struggled through his first four minor league seasons before having a breakout campaign in 2021 split between High-A Jersey Shore and Double-A Reading. He crushed 23 home runs and cut down on his strikeout rate, but regressed in 2022 back at Reading, posting a career-worst 32.7% strikeout rate while struggling to access his plus-plus raw power.

Scouting Report: Ortiz stood out to members of the organization coming into the 2022 season thanks to a refocused approach that included a healthier diet, and he showed up to spring training in better shape and with a shorter swing to help him catch up to mid-90s velocity. Those gains didn't translate to the 2022 season, as Ortiz continued to struggle to make contact. He had trouble figuring out pitches to swing at, and had a high swing-and-miss rate while chasing a high amount of sliders out of the zone. Ortiz has plus bat speed and plus-plus raw power, but his inability to make consistent contact makes it more of an above-average tool in games. He posted an impressive 106.3 mph 90th percentile exit velocity, and over 39% of his balls in play were hit 95 mph or harder, but he managed just 17 home runs due to his contact issues. Ortiz struggled with his timing and starting his stride earlier in his swing, and those will be areas of emphasis in 2023. He's a solid athlete for his size, but is a below-average runner and defender in right field who could end up at first base. He has a plus arm.

The Future: Time is running out for Ortiz to make the necessary adjustments to unlock more of his power in games and prove himself as more than an emergency up/down player. He'll likely head to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 30. Power: 55. Running: 40. Fielding: 40. Arm: 60.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Boyd has a pair of clear carrying tools that allowed him to separate himself in the 2022 draft class, with plus-plus speed and at least plus defense in center field. There were questions around his offensive impact, but the Phillies were confident enough in his potential that they drafted him in the 11th round and signed him to a well over-slot $647,500 bonus. Boyd had an encouraging 2022 pro debut, hitting .361/.477/.389 across 11 games between the Florida Complex League and Low-A.

Scouting Report: Boyd was one of the top athletes in the 2022 draft class, and his plus-plus speed allowed him to steal eight bases in 10 tries in his pro debut. He's at least a plus defender in the outfield, with great instincts and the speed to cover a lot of ground in center field, with a solid arm to go with it. He has strong bat-to-ball skills, with the ability to hit to all fields, but he lacks present power in his 6-foot-1, 177-pound frame. There's a belief that he could add power in the future, but it's likely to be below-average, gap-to-gap power at best.

The Future: After a brief full-season debut in 2022, Boyd should spend the 2023 season at Low-A Clearwater.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 50. Power: 30. Running: 70. Fielding: 65. Arm: 50.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Originally expected to sign in 2019, Garcia's signing was delayed a year due to a discrepancy with his age. He eventually signed in March of 2020 as one of the top players in the international class, with a $2.5 million signing bonus out of Venezuela. Garcia has played in just 55 minor league games over two seasons due to a myriad of injuries. He played in 18 games in his pro debut in 2021, but missed a significant amount of time after fouling a ball off his leg, then missed the majority of the 2022 season with a broken leg.

Scouting Report: Garcia has tools to dream on, with plus-plus speed, plus defense in center field and an above-average arm, but he's had little time to show those skills on the field. Garcia makes solid contact at the plate, but he's prone to chasing pitches out of the zone and hits too many balls on the ground. He has an uppercut swing, and the organization has worked with him to flatten his swing path and develop a more patient approach at the plate, as he rarely walks and has an overaggressive approach that leads to soft contact. Garcia has added muscle to his frame, but will need to continue making strength gains to project for even below-average power--he had an 82 mph average exit velocity in 2022. He is a smooth defender in center field with plus-plus speed that allows him to cover a lot of ground, with good instincts to go with an above-average arm.

The Future: Garcia is still an extremely raw talent and needs a full year of experience under his belt in 2023. He'll likely spend the 2023 season at the Class A levels.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 40. Power: 30. Running: 70. Fielding: 60. Arm: 55.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Kerkering pitched primarily out of the bullpen for South Florida in 2020 and 2021, but split his time between starting and relief in 2022. He struck out 12.1 batters per nine and walked just 2.5 per nine, but gave up 75 hits in 67.2 innings. The Phillies drafted him in the fifth round in 2022 on the strength of his fastball/slider combination. He made six appearances in 2022 between the Florida Complex League and Low-A Clearwater.

Scouting Report: Despite making 10 starts for South Florida in 2022, the Phillies plan to use Kerkering as a reliever and believe he can move quickly in that role. His fastball sits in the mid 90s and tops out at 97 mph, and he used it more than 50% of the time in 2022. His slider sits in the mid 80s with plenty of spin and on average exceeded 2,700 rpm in 2022. It's a plus pitch that gives him a swing-and-miss offering. He also has an infrequently-used changeup that's a below-average pitch and could end up being ditched as he progresses through the minor leagues. Kerkering throws quality strikes with average control.

The Future: The Phillies believe Kerkering should move quickly in a relief role, and he'll likely start the 2023 season at High-A Jersey Shore.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. Slider: 60. Changeup: 40. Control: 50.

BA Grade/Risk: 35/Medium

Track Record: Marchan, who appeared in 20 games for the Phillies in 2021, had several stints on the injured list in 2022, first missing time with a left hamstring strain to start the year and then missing time in August. The slick-fielding backstop received two call ups to the major leagues in 2022, but did not see any game action, and spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Scouting Report: Marchan is one of the best defensive catchers in the minor leagues, with above-average blocking skills, good leadership skills and excellent catch-and-throw ability, with pop times in the 1.8-second range. Despite strong strike-zone awareness skills and low whiff and chase rates, he's a below-average hitter, with below-average bat speed and a high groundball rate. He has well below-average power, as evidenced by his 84.2 mph average exit velocity in 2022, and the organization has worked with him on adding some loft in his swing to hit the ball in the air more frequently. He's a solid runner for a catcher.

The Future: Marchan's excellent defense should translate to a solid big league career as a second-division backup, but he's currently blocked in Philadelphia by backup Garrett Stubbs and Donny Sands.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 40. Power: 30. Speed: 40. Fielding: 70. Arm: 60.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Rao was an effective piece out of the bullpen for a Notre Dame team that upset top-seeded Tennessee in the Knoxville Super Regional in 2022, and he finished the season with a 3-1, 3.83 mark with 57 strikeouts and 28 walks in 47 innings. The Phillies selected him in the eighth round of the 2022 draft, and Rao made three scoreless appearances after signing between the Florida Complex League and Low-A Clearwater.

Scouting Report: Rao has an effective three-pitch mix, with a plus fastball that sat in the mid 90s in 2022 and topped out above 98 mph. It's a high-spin offering with good riding life up in the zone that proved to be an effective bat-misser. His best pitch is a mid-80s split-changeup that the organization believes can be a wipeout offering. It's at its best when Rao uses it down in the zone. He rounds out his mix with an infrequently used mid-80s slider that is a below-average offering. Rao has below-average control that likely led to him falling to the eighth round in the draft.

The Future: With two plus pitches, Rao has a chance to move quickly through the system, but he'll have to throw more consistent strikes. He should start the 2023 season at High-A Jersey Shore, and could prove to be an effective middle reliever.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60. Changeup: 60. Slider: 40. Control: 40.

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.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: McCollum pitched mainly out of the bullpen for Wingate in each of his three seasons with the program, but struggled mightily in 2021 and went unselected in the 20-round draft. The Phillies signed him as a nondrafted free agent, and he had an impressive 2022 campaign at Low-A Clearwater, striking out 52 batters in 31 innings to go with a 1.45 ERA.

Scouting Report: McCollum has a powerful, three-pitch mix out of the bullpen, with a four-seam fastball that averaged over 94 mph in 2022 and topped out above 97 mph. The pitch has riding life at the top of the zone with good extension, and it induced a whiff rate just below 42% in 2022. He pairs the pitch with a hard, mid-80s slider that has cutter-like shape, and rounds out his arsenal with a split-changeup that could prove to be his best swing-and-miss weapon. The pitch sits in the mid 80s and induced a 50% whiff rate in 2022 in a limited sample. McCollum was plagued by command issues in college, but he took a step forward in that department with Clearwater. McCollum's delivery and arm action have led to injury concerns, but he has the weapons to succeed in a big league bullpen if he can stay healthy.

The Future: McCollum could be a quick mover in 2023 and will likely start the season at High-A Jersey Shore. He has the potential to be a power arm at the back of an MLB bullpen.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60. Slider: 55. Changeup: 55. Control: 40.

The Phillies acquired Song, who is still serving in the Navy, in the first round of the 2022 Rule 5 Draft. He immediately becomes one of the most talented arms in the system, with a four-pitch arsenal that includes an upper-90s fastball, two breaking balls and a changeup, but it's not certain when he'll be able to resume his professional career.
