The Philadelphia Phillies Spring Breakout roster features some of the team’s rising prospects. Notably, the roster features all four of the Phillies on the MLB Pipeline Top 100 Prospects list. On March 14, the Phillies’ Spring Breakout team will face off against the Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Breakout squad. Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller, and Justin Crawford headline the Phillies roster. Former top prospects Mick Abel and Griff McGarry are also included. Abel and McGarry each have something to prove after minor league struggles in 2024. Dante Nori, the Phillies’ 2024 first-round pick, is also on the team.
