Eric Longenhagen of Fangraphs released his top Phillies prospect list Wednesday as he went 33 players deep into the system. As the basis of his rankings, he applied Fangraphs’s 20-80 future value (FV) scale to better explain what each player will likely be in the future.
On that 20-80 scale, 50 is considered average and would equate to a two-WAR player. Philadelphia has three prospects above that level. J.P. Crawford received a 60 FV while Mickey Moniak and Jorge Alfaro each had a 55 FV. They had ten prospects at 45 FV and the rest of the 33 were at 40.
