Quite a few Phillies prospects are staying active this offseason. While Andrew Painter and Griff McGarry are both currently pitching in the Arizona Fall League, outfielder Justin Crawford will play for Team USA in the third World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier12 tournament.
Crawford, MLB’s No. 53 overall prospect, is the third-highest ranked prospect participating in the tournament. He joins three other MLB Top 100 prospects on the Team USA roster: No. 4 prospect Carson Williams, No. 22 prospect Matt Shaw, and No. 75 prospect Termarr Johnson.
The Phillies drafted Crawford, the son of former major leaguer Carl Crawford, in the first round of the 2022 Major League Baseball Draft.
