Philadelphia Phillies Prospects 2023

Overall Grade: D+

RankPlayerLGTeamPosCommentsRatingStatus
1Corbin BurnesNMILSPK/9 regression of last two months but still elite, cutter is best pitch in baseball.3
2Gerrit ColeANYYSPElite in consecutive years, still having HR issues. Very safe.3
3Aaron NolaNPHISPPerfect control, pitched better than ERA. Not GB pitcher anymore but probably safest on the board.4
4Max ScherzerNNYMSPVelo declined very slightly three consecutive years with K rate. Best control of career. Still has innings upside.3
5Jacob deGromATEXSPK/BB identical to 2021 but had HR issues. Velo down slightly but not much.3
6Kevin GausmanATORSPMore sliders, ridiculous control. Due better luck with BABIP.4
7Spencer StriderNATLSPBetter k/BB as SP, elite velo. Missed time with oblique. ERA should have been even better. Innings cap likely.4
8Carlos RodonANYYSPMaintained velo. Elite minus durability.3
9Shane McClanahanATBRSPElite control. Wore down late, particularly September. Adds some risk.2
10Brandon WoodruffNMILSPSame as usual. Safe other than health.3
11Zac GallenNARISPAdded velo, all plus pitches. Ridiculous second half. Looks like ace but slightly overachieved.3
12Justin VerlanderNNYMSPVelo excellent despite K/9 decline. HR success a bit fluky.3
13Shohei OhtaniALAASPHuge velo increase and throwing more sliders. Reflected in dominant K/BB. Possibly better pitcher than hitter.3
14Sandy AlcantaraNMIASPOnly difference was vastly improved changeup. ERA metrics only slightly improved, and K rate dropped. Obvious regression.2
15Zack WheelerNPHISPVelo and GB rate down. Was back in the playoffs. Injuries are only concern.3
16Luis CastilloASEASPNo longer GB pitcher, FB was elite. Juiced ball would be more risky.3
17Shane BieberACLESPVelo worst of career by far. Saved by cutter. Doesn't have previous upside.3
18Yu DarvishNSDPSPIP/GS easily best of career, sub-2.0 BB/9 again. Velo has been up for three years. HR still concerning if live ball returns.3
19Max FriedNATLSPBig control improvement, improved changeup that he threw more. Very safe pitcher.4
20Tyler GlasnowATBRSPLooks all the way back. Durability still a concern.3
