Dalton Guthrie was selected by the Phillies in the sixth round of the 2017 amateur draft. Despite not being considered a top prospect, his versatility helped him rise through the system.
Guthrie’s strength was his versatility, as he’s able to play every position besides catcher. But prior to 2022, he hadn’t shown enough hitting ability to be considered a top prospect. That changed in 2022 when he put up an OPS of .839 in 92 games at Lehigh Valley. As a result, when Nick Castellanos went on the Injured List in September, Guthrie was called up to replace him.
