Several Phillies prospects are trending upwards as the season continues on

The MLB Draft is this week and the Phillies will be taking inventory of their prospect pool before making their selection at pick number three.

Trending Up

Sixto Sanchez, RHP, Clearwater

He’s only 19 years old, but the Phillies have something special in Sixto Sanchez. As of June 3rd, Sanchez was 4-3 with a 2.51 ERA in 8 starts.

Sanchez has given up two runs in his last four outings, including a 7 inning complete game shutout out on June 3 against Florida.

On May 25th, Sanchez tossed 6.0 innings, giving up one run on three hits, and striking out 10 batters.

He has great stuff and is still developing into his body. Sixto is one of the Phillies top prospects. and will be a huge part of the Phillies future and the starting rotation will have a dominant two-headed monster for years with Nola and Sanchez.
