A $10,000 international signee out of Mexico, Marquez broke out in 2026 with a fastball now sitting above 95 with ride-run life, and a changeup scouts consider his best pitch. A compact, repeatable delivery has produced plus control (17 walks in 55 innings) and earned him a midseason promotion to High-A. The current profile points to a back-end starter.

Power right-hander whose high-carry fastball plays as an elite pitch and is backed by a sharp curveball. He throws enough strikes to continue developing as a starter, though the slider, changeup and durability still need to progress. His floor is a high-leverage reliever, with a mid-rotation ceiling if the full arsenal holds up.

Electric right-hander with a plus-plus fastball and a slider that can miss bats, but his command and changeup remain inconsistent. After Tommy John surgery, his ability to repeat his delivery and handle a starter workload will determine his role. The raw stuff gives him late-inning relief upside even if starting does not work out.

Advanced right-handed hitter with plus raw power, a strong throwing arm and the defensive progress to remain at shortstop. Improved recognition of breaking pitches has helped him reach his power more consistently, while excellent baserunning instincts add value beyond his average pure speed. He projects as an everyday impact infielder, with third base also a possible long-term fit.

A 2025 second-round pick out of Iowa, Obermueller pairs a low-90s fastball that touches 95 with a plus sweeper, and is leaning more on his changeup after right-handers have hit him harder than lefties. He missed time this spring with mono but has since ramped back up. His smaller frame and still-developing pitch mix carry some relief risk, but the Phillies are betting his draft-year gains hold up enough for him to start.

Compact right-handed hitter with strong contact skills, a disciplined approach and growing ability to drive the ball. His athleticism and instincts help compensate for modest straight-line speed, while his arm and offensive profile could fit at either second or third base. He projects as a bat-first regular if the power continues developing.

Acquired from Detroit in the 2024 Gregory Soto trade, Chace brings a mid-to-high-90s fastball with an unusually low release point that plays up, backed by a sweeper, cutter and changeup. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2025 and spent the first half of 2026 rehabbing, throwing bullpens as of midseason with a return to games targeted for later this year. The Phillies still see a starter's four-pitch mix here, but the elbow surgery adds real risk to his timeline.

Philadelphia's 2025 third-round pick out of Vanderbilt, Bowker throws from a low, near-sidearm slot with a 92-95 mph fastball (touching 95) that plays up due to its shape, backed by a slider/cutter mix in the low-to-mid 80s and a changeup that is his best secondary pitch. Baseball America grades: Fastball 60, Changeup 60, Slider 50, Cutter 40, Control 50, projecting a possible back-of-rotation starter.

A power right-handed reliever signed from Taiwan in 2023, Pan pairs an upper-90s fastball (touching triple digits) with a hard, upper-80s splitter that gives him a true swing-and-miss look when healthy. He missed all of 2025 recovering from Tommy John surgery. Scouting grades via MLB Pipeline: Fastball 70, Splitter 60, Slider 40, Control 50.

A $1.25 million seventh-round pick in 2025 who slid over signability concerns, Fisher was viewed by some evaluators as a potential first-round talent and was ranked as high as No. 46 overall by MLB Pipeline. He works 92-95 mph with high-spin carry on his fastball and shows feel for four pitches, highlighted by a high-spin curveball and slider, inside a projectable 6-foot-3 frame with clean, repeatable mechanics. He profiles as a potential mid-rotation starter as he continues to add strength.

Toolsy outfielder with plus speed, solid defensive ability and enough strength to grow into average or better power. Limited game repetitions have slowed his development, making health and contact consistency the immediate priorities. He has a chance to develop into a well-rounded everyday outfielder.

Bryan De La Cruz is hitting .269/.358/.448 with a .806 OPS, 12 home runs and 1 stolen bases. His overall offensive production has been solid. His walk rate points to a selective approach.

Contact-oriented left-handed center fielder with an advanced approach, plus-plus speed and high-end defensive instincts. His reads, routes and baserunning give him a strong everyday foundation, while the main question is how much game power he will produce. He profiles as a table-setting regular in center if he adds modest impact without sacrificing contact.

A 2022 third-round pick, Rincones is a hit-first lefty bat with plus raw power but well below-average speed and a below-average arm, which likely limits him to left field or first base. He controls the strike zone well and has shown he can turn on velocity, though he has struggled badly against same-level left-handed pitching. The profile points to a strong-side platoon bat or everyday role on a rebuilding club, with a possible MLB look in 2026.

Acquired from Baltimore in the 2024 Gregory Soto trade (along with Moises Chace), Johnson was a 2019 first-round pick who had Tommy John surgery in 2022. He works with a four-seamer that has averaged 97 mph and can climb into the high 90s, a high-80s slider, a low-90s split-change, and an occasional mid-70s curveball. Command remains the swing factor; when he is around the zone he misses bats, but a somewhat rigid arm action leads to mistakes hitters can drive. The Phillies have shifted him to the bullpen.

Bryan Rincon is hitting .254/.390/.466 with a .856 OPS, 13 home runs and 23 stolen bases. He has produced at a well-above-average offensive level. His walk rate points to a selective approach.

Alex Binelas is hitting .287/.401/.547 with a .948 OPS, 20 home runs and 3 stolen bases. He has produced at a well-above-average offensive level. His walk rate points to a selective approach. The strikeout rate creates risk against more advanced pitching.

A 2023 international signee from Venezuela, Ferrebus combines plus raw power (112 mph max exit velocity) with an aggressive, contact-oriented approach, ranking 10th in the system with a 45 Overall Future Potential per Prospects Live. He is a projectable catcher who needs to get stronger and quieter at the catch point, but the Phillies are bullish on his defensive progress and believe he has enough arm and hands to catch long-term; if he has to move, an outfield corner is a secondary option.

Large left-handed reliever whose deceptive, low-release fastball generates unusually high swing-and-miss despite only average velocity. His cutter-like slider flashes as a useful second pitch, but command and breaking-ball consistency are the key development points. He could move quickly as a bullpen arm if he reduces walks.

A switch-hitting middle infielder out of Arkansas, Moore projects best at second base, where his instincts, hands and ability to slow the game down are assets, with a fringy arm limiting him at shortstop long-term. He is an above-average runner with modest pro power (14 home runs in 167 games with Double-A Reading), acquired from Milwaukee in November 2023 in exchange for Oliver Dunn.

An up-and-down reliever who has shuttled between Triple-A Lehigh Valley and the Phillies bullpen throughout 2026, Rangel works with a deep mix, a sinker, four-seamer, sweeper, curveball, cutter and changeup, with his fastball sitting 92-95 mph and touching 96. His low-80s changeup is his best secondary, generating whiffs and above-average grades. After working with pitching coaches to trust his stuff more, he has posted career-high strikeout rates (30%-plus) at both High-A and Double-A along the way.

Adam Seminaris has logged 90.0 innings with a 2.70 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9. He is missing bats at a strong rate. His walk rate suggests usable command.

The son of 17-year big leaguer Miguel Cairo, Christian is a polished defensive shortstop with quick feet, strong lateral range and a strong-enough arm to play anywhere on the infield, plus standout speed (38-for-45 stealing at Triple-A in 2025, about 81% for his career). His bat is more about contact than power, a max exit velocity around 106 mph with a barrel rate under 2% at Triple-A, so his path to the majors likely runs through glove-and-legs utility value rather than an everyday bat.

A non-drafted free agent who signed with the Phillies in July 2023, Albrecht has spent time across the system as extra catching depth and is currently with Double-A Reading. Public scouting detail on his defensive tools and offensive profile is limited; this profile will be updated as more reporting becomes available.

Juan Villavicencio is hitting .295/.378/.534 with a .912 OPS, 12 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He has produced at a well-above-average offensive level. He is making enough contact to sustain a strong batting average.

Felix Reyes is hitting .291/.319/.554 with a .873 OPS, 20 home runs and 5 stolen bases. He has produced at a well-above-average offensive level. He is making enough contact to sustain a strong batting average. A low walk rate limits the margin for error when the hits are not falling.

Keaton Anthony is hitting .296/.369/.473 with a .842 OPS, 7 home runs. His overall offensive production has been solid. He is making enough contact to sustain a strong batting average.

Philadelphia's 2025 fifth-round pick out of Baylor, Craig throws from a low three-quarters slot with a 93-95 mph fastball (touching 97) and a sweeping mid-80s slider that Phillies scouts have graded as high as a 70 on the 20-80 scale, among the best in that draft class. A two-pitch reliever profile at age 24, he is expected to move quickly, with internal comparisons to Orion Kerkering's fast track to the majors.

There is not enough current statistical information to write a reliable evaluation yet.

Brandon Beckel has logged 46.1 innings with a 3.69 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9. He is missing bats at a strong rate. His walk rate suggests usable command.

A Venezuelan righty who works with four-seam and sinking fastballs around 93 mph, a low-80s sweeper, a low-80s gyro slider, and a changeup scouts like in the mid-80s. Prospects Live rates him a 50 Overall Future Potential; MLB Pipeline grades his changeup at 60. Command is still inconsistent, and he gives up hard contact when he misses spots, but the strikeout ability projects better than his raw ERA suggests.
