The Phillies have several prospects who are worth paying attention to during spring training this year as they try to make an impression on the team.

The Phillies have plenty of storylines to follow heading into spring training this year. Who will close? Can Maikel Franco bounce back? And possibly most important, is Aaron Nola truly healthy?

The storylines at the major-league level could very well wind up overshadowing some of Philadelphia’s prospects. A few may wind up breaking onto the major-league roster, but most may have to wait until later this year. Even then, some will be sure to make an impact on the major-league coaches in their time with the big-league club. Let’s take a look at a few players who could stand to make waves in spring training.
