There are 22 former Phillies draft picks or original international free agent signings currently playing in the major leagues or on the major league IL for other organizations. Amongst the 22 are 18 draft choices and 4 international signings - 13 pitchers & 9 position players ranging in Phillies signing years from 2003 (1), 2007 (2), 2009 (1), 2010 (1), 2012 (1), 2013 (2), 2014 (1), 2015 (3), 2016 (3), 2017 (2), 2018 (4) and 2019 (1). When adding in the seven major league players on their own roster originally signed by them (Seranthony Dominguez - 2012, Orion Kerkering - 2022, Aaron Nola - 2014, Ranger Suarez - 2012, Alec Bohm - 2018, Bryson Stott - 2019, Johan Rojas - 2018) the Phillies total of 29 draft choices or international signings puts them in the upper tier in comparison to the 29 other major league clubs. The 2018 class stands out in particular (C Logan O’Hoppe, OF Matt Vierling, RHP James McArthur, 3B Curtis Mead, 3B Alec Bohm and CF Johan Rojas) with all six players from that year now performing as lineup regulars for their current clubs.
In addition 45 former original Phillies draft picks or original international free agent signings are currently playing in the minor leagues or on the minor league IL for other organizations. A total of 153 players, managers or coaches with a Phillies employment history are currently active with other organizations either with the major league club or one of their affiliates, I did not pursue listing those who are in front office positions, scouting, training support, etc. - I’m already bonkers enough from doing the research I conducted on this study 🤪.
Lastly there is at least one player, coach or manager in each of the other 29 organizations with a Phillies history. Here’s the list I’ve researched and accumulated over the past few days of all the former Phillies either playing, coaching or managing in one of the other 29 major league organizations. I’ve also notated when they were with the Phillies organization. Jobs are fluid in pro baseball so some things may have changed since I did the research - just sayin.
Happy Day, Happy Baseball ⚾️
