3 Phillies prospects fans should be keeping an eye on in the Arizona Fall League

The Major League Baseball season may be over, but some prospects are still plying their trade in the desert. Prospects from every organization are in Arizona extending their season in the Arizona Fall League (AFL). That includes a handful of Philadelphia Phillies prospects.

Some of the young players representing the Phillies organization in the AFL have just begun their professional careers. Others have been around for a while and are trying to take that next step or prove they deserve a last chance to show what they can do.

While many of the Phillies' AFL prospects aren't extremely well known (Aidan Miller was pulled out after initially being scheduled to go), there are some names worth keeping tabs on. Here are three prospects Phillies fans should watch closely this fall.

3 Phillies prospects fans should be keeping an eye on in the Arizona Fall League

Dylan Campbell, OF

Dylan Campbell, the Phillies' No. 28 MLB Pipeline prospect, arrived from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for international bonus pool money that helped L.A. sign Roki Sasaki last offseason. His first season with the Phillies didn't go the way that Campbell had probably envisioned. However, he showed up to the AFL and had a surprising power surge.

Campbell is hitting .250 and slugging a healthy .523 with a .913 OPS. Six of his 11 hits are of the extra-base variety, with three home runs, three doubles and 11 RBIs in 44 at-bats over 15 games.

Campbell isn't known for a big power bat but still launched 14 home runs in 122 games split between High-A Jersey Shore and Double-A Reading this year. Per his MLB Pipeline scouting report, the 23-year-old "has a well-deserved reputation for spraying line drives to all fields." He also knows how to swipe a bag, notching 42 steals last year and 33 this season.

Dante Nori, OF

Phillies No. 6 prospect Dante Nori suffered a minor injury at the beginning of his AFL stint. He missed two weeks but has since returned to action. The 2024 first-round pick (27th overall) had a strong first season in pro ball after a slow start.

In his small sample size of six AFL games, Nori is hitting .375 with a .483 on-base percentage. While he has been working to develop his home run power (he hit four home runs this year) it hasn't happened in the desert. He is slugging .417 with a .900 OPS, however.

We'll be keeping an eye on how Nori finishes his 2025 campaign, especially after racking up 125 regular season games between Single-A Clearwater (109), High-A (11) and Double-A (5). He hit .261 with a .733 OPS, 18 doubles, 12 triples and 52 steals.

Eiberson Castellano, RHP

Is Eiberson Castellano anything? It's hard to know after the roller coaster couple of seasons the right-hander has had.

After being named the Phillies Paul Owens Award winner in 2024, he was left unprotected in the Rule 5 Draft and taken by the Minnesota Twins. He was returned after spring training and struggled to a 6.44 ERA in 36 1/3 innings in an injury-shortened season, mostly in Double-A.

Castellano got off to a bumpy start in the AFL but has since righted the ship. The Phillies' No. 24 prospect allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks in his first six innings. He then rebounded and went four innings, surrendering just one run with six strikeouts. After four games, he now has a 3.86 ERA with 18 punchouts in 14 innings.

Turning 25 next year, will Castellano do enough to prove to the Phillies that he deserves another chance next season?
