Phillies Add Three To Player Pool

By Steve Adams | July 29, 2020 at 8:25am CDT

The Phillies announced that they’ve added right-hander Adonis Medina, infielder/outfielder Austin Listi and infielder Bryson Stott to their 60-man player pool. All three will report to the club’s alternate training site.

Medina, 23, entered the 2019 season ranked among baseball’s best pitching prospects, but he struggled to a 4.94 ERA with 7.0 K/9 against 3.5 BB/9 in a pitcher-friendly Double-A setting last year, causing his stock to drop a bit. Armed with a mid-90s sinker that has typically generated above-average ground-ball rates and a well-regarded changeup, he’ll give the Phillies a relatively advanced arm to lean on for depth while also continuing to get some critical developmental reps with the rest of the player pool. Medina is already on the 40-man roster.

Listi, 26, has played all four corner positions in the Phillies’ minor league system. First base has been his most frequent position, but he has at least 323 innings at each of left field, right field and third base as well. Listi split the 2019 season between Double-A and Triple-A, batting a combined .252/.344/.434 with 19 home run, 24 doubles and a pair of triples in 545 plate appearances. He walked at a 10.5 percent clip and punched out in 19.4 percent of his plate appearances. Given his ability to handle multiple positions and his experience up through the Triple-A level, Listi could emerge as an option at the MLB level in 2020.

Stott, meanwhile, was the team’s first-round pick in 2019 and seems like much more of a long shot to be considered for the big leagues in 2020. The Phillies took a conservative approach with the UNLV product last year, assigning him to their Rookie-level affiliate and then short-season Class-A club — where as a first-round college bat he was much more advanced than most of his competition. Stott did what one would expect of an advanced bat in that setting, as he logged a strong .295/.391/.494 slash in 193 plate appearances. Even though he seems unlikely to be called up this year, Stott will benefit from simulated game reps and work with the team’s staff in Lehigh Valley.

    Hopefully Stott continues to advance and further push Segura to the odd man out status. Re-sign Didi to a 2/35 deal, Bohm comes up to play 3B, and Segura gets traded for a starter /high leverage reliever.

      Well Stott is mainly a shortstop and Bohm will play third with Kingery at second when he returns so there is no need to give Didi a large contract

        @Johhos- Re-signing Didi for 2 years, $35 would definitely be worth it. You might have to give him a little more. Resigning Realmuto is a must also. Can’t let him go to the Mets. 5 years, $120 million with a club option for a 6th year should get that done. Then sign Trevor Bauer & either Paxton or Tanaka.

          Can’t see anyone lining up to take Segura for 3/45. Certainly not going to give you a High leverage reliever back as well.

      Segura 3B
      Bohm 1B
      Hoskins DH or left out

        Neither Bohm nor Hoskins is very good in the field unfortunately.

          “Can’t tell the players without a program” has never been as true as it is this season…

    @Darkside830- I like Trevor Bauer pitching in a big spot. Yes a bit nuts. lol! But it seems like he just wants to sign 1 year deals every year from now on. Thinking a 1yr. $23 million dollar contract gets it done next season. With the Dodgers, Braves, or Phillies as the favorites to sign him. I feel the Yankees will have interest as well, especially on a 1 year deal. We’ll see.

      Id bet if Bauer takes a one year deal it’s going to be at or above 30 million bucks.

      that guy is a one year wonder and annoys me. dont want him anywhere near this team.

        Yea. He would be a horrendous fit. Phillies don’t even need another big arm. They need a solid #3 and #4. That’s it. It’s embarrassing that they can’t develop one.
