Two former fifth-round picks appear in Phillies top prospects lists, Mattingly reportedly hires new BlueClaws manager

Last week, both FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus released their list of top Phillies prospects. Phillies 2020 first-round pick Mick Abel topped both lists. Bryson Stott, who is expected to be called up to the major league team at some point in 2022, finished second on FanGraphs’ top-41 list and third on Baseball Prospectus’ top ten.

Among new faces in the Phillies’ top ten are two former fifth-round picks: outfielder Matt Vierling and right-handed pitcher Griff McGarry.
