8/3/22 : Draft Perspective

Among National League playoff contenders the Phillies have the second most players - six contributors : Stott ( 2019 ), Bohm ( 2018 ), Vierling ( 2018 ), Hall ( 2016 ), Maton ( 2017 ) & Brogdon ( 2017 ) ) on the current active roster that were originallydrafted/signed in 2016 or later as amateurs and developed internally.  With Hoskins ( 2014 ), Nola ( 2014 ), Suarez ( signed 2012 ) and Dominguez ( signed 2012 ) they have more than a third of the current active roster occupied by internally developed players.


In the category of originallydrafted/signed in 2016 or later and developed internally here’s a look at the other NL contenders current rosters :


The Cardinals have  9 - ( Hudson, Pallante, Thompson, Knizner, Donovan, Edman, Gorman, Carlson, Nootbar )

The Dodgers have 5 - ( Gonsolin, Smith, Lux, Vargas, Outman )

The Brewers have 4 - ( Ashby, Burnes, Feilciano, Hiura )

The Braves have 4 - ( Anderson, Strider, Wright, Harris )

The Padres have 3 -( Morejon, Wilson, Batten )

The Mets have 1 - ( Alonso )


Just sayin 🧐


Here’s a look at the Phillies 2016 to 2018 draft classes and some of the International free agent signings ... where the players who signed stand at present.  Those names in italics and underlined have made their major league debuts. Those names just bolded are still active players in the organization.
