It's that time of year again - time for mid-season prospect rankings! As the MLB/Minors All-Star Break has occured, I have used this time to re-rank the Phillies prospects. Once again we start at the rookie levels, where the FCL Phillies hold a .5 game lead at 15-11 in the conplex league's North Division, while the two DSL affiliates once again are dominating the DSL's South Division. The reigning champions DSL Phillies White are 2nd in the DSL at 20-6, while the Red affiliate is 15-11. Here is a rundown of the top-10 prospects having topped out at these levels this season:
- Raylin Heredia
- Rickardo Perez+
- Junior Marin#
- Dakota Kotowski\/
- Eduardo Tait
- Starlyn Caba
- Maxwel Hernandez
- Enrique Segura
- Micah Ottenbreit\/
- Mavis Graves
Rickardo Perez has strangely not played yet this season due to a suspension, and to this end has gotten passed by Raylin Heredia, who has gone nuclear since moving up to the FCL, slashing .400/.480/.659 across 21 contests. The slugging percentage sets him apart from some of the other young position prospects whose power has yet to develop. Heredia has also produced 41 runs, stolen five bases, and hit five triples. Meanwhile, injuries have limited the newcomer Junior Marin to just 5 contests at the FCL, but the ex-Royals prospect showed quite well enough in the prior two seasons to be ranked highly regardless. Dakota Kotowski appears viewed by the origination as a organizational filler, but the ex-Miss State bopper has 9 home runs in 21 complex games, which can not be glossed over. Finally, keep an eye on the unheralded Eduardo Tait, who is just 16 but nevertheless has been one of the Red club's best hitters while also gunning down 44% of potential base-stealers. That performance jumps him past the higher-regarded Caba and Hernandez, who are also having strong seasons.
