It’s the first week of Spring Training, so that means ESPN’s Keith Law has been working nonstop on his prospect rankings. He released his top 10 Phillies prospects list today, and threw in ten more for good measure. The fact that the list has an extra 10 names on it is one indicator of how deep the Phillies’ farm system has become. Here’s the list, with the player’s KLaw top-100 ranking in parentheses where applicable.
- J.P. Crawford (4)
- Jake Thompson (63)
- Mark Appel (68)
- Nick Williams (74)
- Jorge Alfaro (82)
- Scott Kingery
- Cornelius Randolph
- Franklyn Kilome
- Ricardo Pinto
- Rhys Hoskins
- Roman Quinn
- Thomas Eshelman
- Carlos Tocci
- Nick Pivetta
- Darnell Sweeney
- Andrew Knapp
- Arquimedez Gamboa
- Dylan Cozens
- Adonis Medina
- Malquin Canelo
I think at this point you’re well-acquainted with how highly Law thinks of Crawford, and it’s a glowing endorsement of the system that Law has ranked five Phillies farmhands in his top 100.
