With the Minor League Baseball season underway, let’s take a look at where the Phillies Top 50 prospects are starting their 2019 year in the organization. More information about these players is in my Phillies Top 50 Prospects. Next month, we’ll look more in-depth at each level’s roster to review the top hitters and pitchers along with the players who will break out this year. Hint – #12 and #18 here will be on that breakout list.


Here are the teams and the number of these Top 50 prospects on their roster:

Lehigh Valley IronPigs (AAA) – 8
Reading Fightins (AA) – 17
Clearwater Threshers (A+) – 9
Lakewood BlueClaws (A) – 13

1. Sixto Sanchez, RHP
Sadly, Sanchez was traded to the Miami Marlins in a blockbuster trade for J.T. Realmuto. For more information about the trade, read Stoffer Cochran’s great article here.

2. Alec Bohm, 3B
The first round pick is looking to come back strong this year at Lakewood after ending 2018 on the Injured List.

3. Adonis Medina, RHP
The talented starter opens 2019 with the Reading Fightins.

4. Adam Haseley, OF
After a solid showing in Spring Training, Haseley is repeating Double-A ball at Reading this year.

5. Ranger Suarez, LHP
Suarez is starting for Lehigh Valley and could be one of the first pitchers called up if any injuries occur to the big league starters.

6. Jhailyn Ortiz, OF
Ortiz starts the year in Extended Spring Training.

7. Francisco Morales, RHP
Morales is part of a talented rotation in Lakewood to start the year.

8. Enyel De Los Santos, RHP
Another contributor at the major league level last year, he will open the year at Lehigh Valley.

9. Luis Garcia, SS
Garcia teams with Bohm on the right side of the diamond with Lakewood this year.

10. JoJo Romero, LHP
Romero is in Lehigh Valley to continue his development and could be called up in September if all goes as planned.

11. Spencer Howard, RHP
Coming off a breakout year, Howard opens the season in Clearwater.

12. Matt Vierling, OF
One of my favorite players to keep an eye on this year, the outfielder starts the year in Clearwater.

13. Cole Irvin, LHP
Also coming off a solid Spring Training, Irvin is in Lehigh Valley and could help the major league team this summer.

14. Kyle Young, LHP
The tall hurler will start the year in Clearwater.

15. Jose Pujols, OF
Pujols is out for the year on Reading’s Injured List after Achilles’ Tendon surgery.

16. Arquimedes Gamboa, SS
The young shortstop is in Reading to begin the year.

17. Darick Hall, 1B
Hall is in Reading to start the year to continue his bashing.

18. Kevin Gowdy, RHP
Finally healthy after Tommy John Surgery (did not play in 2017 and 2018), Gowdy looks to continue his career in Lakewood. He’s my choice for the highest moving prospect in the organization this year.
