With the minor-league season wrapped up, Baseball America released their All-Stars for each classification Friday. Four Phillies prospects were among these All-Stars (all of whom are pitchers): Triple-A Lehigh Valley’s Enyel De Los Santos and Cole Irvin, Low-A Lakewood’s David Parkinson, and short-season Williamsport’s Ethan Lindow.
Pitching has become a veritable strength in the organization with talented prospects at nearly every level. However, hitting has been a major weakness, as evidenced by the recent firings of four minor-league hitting coordinators and the resignation of director of player development Joe Jordan.
