Friday was the deadline for clubs to protect players who are eligible for December’s Rule 5 Draft. The Phillies have added the following 6 players to its 40-man roster, making them ineligible for Rule 5 selection:
- LHP Kyle Dohy
- LHP Bailey Falter
- LHP Damon Jones
- SS Nick Maton
- RHP Francisco Morales
- OF Simon Muzziotti
Analysis of the protected players
Kyle Dohy, 24, is currently unranked in Baseball America’s Phillies prospect rankings. Dohy’s arsenal includes a fastball that can get up to 97 in short stints but usually sits in the low-to-mid 90’s in longer outings, a wipeout slider that overpowers lefties, and an effective changeup.
