When I started my @Phillies.GM account on Instagram over three years ago (Spring of 2019), one of the goals I had was to further educate myself, and educate others, about the Phillies minor league system and prospects that make up their minor league affiliates. Unfortunately, in the year 2020, all of Minor League Baseball was lost due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Many of these prospects lost a year of development without playing affiliated baseball. However, after looking at the impact some of our homegrown talent has had on the 2022 Phillies, it appears our farm system is finally starting to turn a corner. It almost seems as if the year off of organized baseball may have helped some of our young guys. Position players such as Darick Hall, Nick Maton, and Matt Vierling have all played a crucial role.
Turning the page to the rest of 2022, 2023, and beyond, it appears the Phillies farm system is now speared by a pair of high school first round pitchers that could be closer to the big leagues than we think…

Led by righthanders Mick Abel & Andrew Painter, I have updated my Phillies.GM Prospect Rankings, and what a time for it! It has been over three years, (August 6th, 2019), since the last time I updated the list, and a lot has changed over a three-year period. If you do not believe me, consider the following… Four of the five prospects I gave a profile to have already debuted in the big leagues. I look forward to giving more prospect profiles in the near future. Without further ado, here is my updated Phillies.GM Prospect Rankings! Enjoy!
