Phillies Triple-A Outfield Will Be Loaded to Start 2017

The Phillies have completely revamped their farm system in the past two years through trades and the draft. Thanks to that revamping, they have accumulated depth at multiple positions, one of which being the outfield. That depth is starting to rise to the upper minors, culminating at Triple-A Lehigh Valley with the Ironpigs next season.

Returning to Lehigh Valley next season is the team’s No. 3 prospect according to MLB.com, Nick Williams. He had a disappointing season in 2016 as he finished with a .258/.287/.427 line and 136 strikeouts in 527 plate appearances with the Ironpigs.
