These prospects have the best tools in the Phillies' farm system

From bat-to-ball ability to speed, arm strength and defensive feel, the Phillies' farm system features prospects flashing loud tools that should give them a chance to impact games at the highest level.

Here’s a look at the Phillies prospects with the best individual tools in the system:

Hit: 55 -- Aidan Miller, SS (No. 2/MLB No. 32)

The 27th overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Miller looked like a power-over-hit type coming out of the prep ranks. But he quickly flipped the script, showing advanced bat control and pitch recognition for his age, as well as a repeatable swing that projects to high contact rates at higher levels. He's drawn walks at a solid clip and posted a career .383 on-base percentage in the Minors thus far.

Honorable mention: OF Dante Nori

Power: 60 -- Aidan Miller, SS (No. 2/MLB No. 32)

As he's matured, Miller has paired advanced bat-to-ball skills with more emerging over-the-fence pop, showing an ability to drive the ball to all fields. Last August displayed the kind of damage he is capable of when everything clicks, as Miller hit .348/.454/.629 with four homers, 16 RBIs and 13 walks in a torrid stretch at the plate at Double-A. As he continues to add strength, he projects as a middle-of-the-order hitter who can hit for average while growing into plus power.

Honorable mention: 3B Carson DeMartini

Run: 75 -- Justin Crawford, OF (No. 3/MLB No. 54)

It makes sense that Carl Crawford's son would possess game-changing wheels. Justin's speed influences every part of his game. He’s a legitimate threat to steal bases in any count, and his quickness allows him to turn routine grounders into hits and take extra bases aggressively. He’s stolen 40 or more bases in each of his three full pro seasons while running to a strong career 82 percent success rate.

Honorable mention: OF Griffin Burkholder

Arm: 60 -- John Spikerman, OF (No. 21)

Spikerman's top tool is his 70-grade speed, which allows him to track down balls anywhere in the outfield. His 60-grade arm allows him additional versatility. He racked up eight outfield assists in just 27 games in right field at High-A in 2025.

Honorable mention: OF Dylan Campbell

Field: 60 -- Dante Nori, OF (No. 6)

Nori's 65-grade speed and above average arm signal a long-term future in center field. He runs excellent routes and covers a ton of ground in the outfield and has only been charged with two errors in his two professional seasons.

Honorable mention: OF John Spikerman

Fastball: 70 -- Gage Wood, RHP (No. 4)

Gage had probably the top fastball in the 2025 Draft class, which he used to propel him to his historic 19-strikeout no-hitter in the College World Series for Arkansas before the Phillies made him a first-round pick. The heater sits at 94-96 mph and reaches 98 with a blend of velocity and carry, helping Gage amass 13.9 strikeouts per nine over the course of his collegiate career.

Honorable mention: RHP Andrew Painter

Curveball: 55 -- Matthew Fisher, RHP (No. 10)

In a shallow system for curves, Fisher's upper-70s curveball stands out. He generates high spin rates with the offering, one of four in his well-balanced pitch mix.

Cutter: 60 -- Yoniel Curet, RHP (No. 24)

Acquired in a trade from the Rays at the Winter Meetings, the 24-year-old power righty has a heater that lives in the high 90s and a plus cutter but spotty command and a history of injuries. He's a potential bullpen option for the Phillies in 2026.

Splitter: 60 -- Wen-Hui Pan, RHP (No. 16)

A hard-throwing relief arm from Taiwan, Pan’s mid-90s heater and mid-80s splitter combine to miss bats at a strong rate when healthy, projecting as a high-leverage bullpen piece once he returns from injury. He missed all of 2025.

Slider: 65 -- LHP Cade Obermueller (No. 7)

The 22-year-old southpaw works from a low arm slot that helps him produce outstanding metrics on his low-80s slider, which features huge horizontal break and good depth to function as an out-pitch against both right-handed and left-handed hitters. He struck out 12.3 batters per nine across three collegiate seasons at Iowa.

Honorable mention: RHP Zach McCambley

Changeup: 60 -- Jean Cabrera, RHP (No. 11)

The 24-year-old Venezuelan's standout pitch is a plus changeup that generates whiffs and weak contact, complementing a mid-90s fastball and mixed breaking stuff -- a five-pitch mix that could help him stick as a rotation starter.

Control: 65 -- Andrew Painter, RHP (No. 1/MLB No. 16)

The organization's longtime top pitching prospect, Painter features elite-level stuff. But it's his plus command that makes him a potential frontline starter, including his ability to pound the strike zone with all four pitches.
