| The regular seasons of both the Dominican Summer and Florida Complex Leagues have drawn to a close, and both were wildly succe sful for some Philadelphia Phillies prospects.A slew of Phillies international signees burst on to the [url=https://www.sharksjerseymall.com/chris-tierney-jersey]Chris Tierney Jersey[/url] scene, entering their names into top prospect conversations, winning some hardware in the proce s.It can be difficult to evaluate Rookie League talent, as the competition has a tendency to be relatively raw, leading to some inflated results. Still, there were a number of Phillies prospects that posted results worth diving into, so lets get to work:INF Nikau Pouaka-Grego, 17 years old, New ZealandThe Phillies signed Pouaka-Grego in January of this year, and he immediately impre sed with his advanced plate discipline and bat control.The 17-year-old managed a fabulous .301/.424/.466 slash acro s 35 games with the FCL Phillies this season, striking out as many times as he walked, totaling 16 of each. He managed ten extra-base hits this season, including three home runs.The New Zealanderwill surely make the leap to affiliated ball next season, but has had some of the most helium of any prospect this year outside of fellow infielder Hao-Yu Lee. While Lee is deeply ingrained in top five prospect conversations within the Phillies system, Pouaka-Grego is not far behind, getting some consideration among many in the Top 10-15 range.SS William Bergolla, 17 years old, VenezuelaIt should come as no surprise to those who have been paying any attention, but William Bergolla Jr. flashed some serious potential overseas this season.The son of former Cincinnati Reds product, William Bergolla Sr., Bergolla Jr. was the Phillies' top international signee in 2022, inking a $2.05 million deal with the team in January. He went on to [url=https://www.sharksjerseymall.com/marc-edouard-vlasic-jersey]Marc-Edouard Vlasic Jersey[/url] post a .380/.470/.423 slash in 24 games, and was a big part of the DSL Phillies title run.Both his bat and glove stood out at various points this season, but perhaps most impre sive about Bergolla was his plate discipline. The budding shortstop struck out only three times this season, and walked in a whopping 12 instances. With an eye like that, he is sure to make his way stateside next season, if his traditional numbers weren't evidence enough.C Rickardo Perez, 18 years old, VenezuelaAnother top international signee, this time their highest paid player in the 2021 cla s, Rickardo Perez came stateside this year and flashed his contact-prone bat, hitting .349 acro s 30 games in the Florida Complex League.Injury stunted Perez's season unfortunately, but the 18-year-old managed to log his first profe sional home run, whilst limiting his strikeouts to a mere total of 13 .His contact ability, glove, and solid arm stood out above all, and while questions still remain about power development, Perez is well on his way to a Clearwater debut next season. He will likely join names like Justin Crawford, Emaarion Boyd, and the aforementioned Nikau-Pouaka Grego, making for a stacked Single-A club.RHP Jaydenn Estanista, 20 [url=https://www.sharksjerseymall.com/justin-braun-jersey]Justin Braun Jersey[/url] years old, CuracaoScroll to ContinueWhen Estanista made his way to the Florida Complex League this season, not much was known about him. Now, he is among the most talked-about pitchers that threw for the Phillies in the FCL this season.The youngster from Curacao likely profiles as a reliever long-term, but is armed with a killer fastball. Topping out at 98, he has excellent feel for the pitch, and leans on it primarily given his current lack of a true secondary. Breaking ball command is surely something he'll be working on as he ascends through the Phillies' system.Still, the 20-year-old to sed 31.1 innings of 2.01 ERA ball for the FCL Phils this season, racking up 35 strikeouts, while walking 16 batters.RHP Maxwel Hernandez, 19 years old, Dominican RepublicThe Phillies' breakout pitcher of the DSL, Maxwel Hernandez sparkled in his first profe sional season to sing 49.2 innings of league-leading 0.72 ERA ball, and capping a fabulous year off with a six-inning gem in the pivotal second game of the DSL Phils title run.As things currently stand, There is a decent chance that Hernandez remains a starter. His fastball currently sits low-90's, and his go-to secondary, a changeup, has posted solid reports. It seems nearly certain that we [url=https://www.sharksjerseymall.com/tommy-wingels-jersey]Tommy Wingels Jersey[/url] 'll see him stateside next season.RHP Enrique Segura, 17-years-old, Dominican RepublicAt just 17-years-old, Segura is the youngest pitcher on this list, and has shown some advanced mechanics for his age this season.Primarily relying on a sinking fastball, which sits in the low-to-mid 90's, Segura generated a ton of soft contact in his profe sional debut. His efforts earned him a 2.32 ERA acro s 42.2 innings, where he struck out 39 batters in the proce s. There is some belief that Segura will be able to add strength, and therefore velocity, and there is time for that given his youth.There has been enough positivity surrounding Segura that he earned a spot at the bottom of MLB Pipeline's Top 30 Phillies Prospects List, directly under the aforementioned Jaydenn Estanista.INF Leonardo Rondon, 18-years-old, VenezuelaThough he may be small, he is mighty. Standing at just five-foot-eight, Leonardo Rondon bashed his way through the DSL this season, hitting .340 with a .906 OPS, and logging his first profe sional home run in the proce s.Rondon is speedy, and he carries a quick, contact-prone bat to boot. Power [url=https://www.sharksjerseymall.com/logan-couture-jersey]Logan Couture Jersey[/url] remains a question for him, an obvious concern given his frame, but he has an inherent ability to find the gaps, posting seven doubles and two triples on the season. He, like many of his DSL teammates, also showed solid discipline at the plate, striking out just 18 times, and walking 10.He too should make his way stateside next season, and will be one to watch as he develops. It's not often a player of his stature pops eyes at the profe sional level.More From SI's Inside The Phillies: |
