Phillies Arizona Fall League Primer: Roster, Schedule, TV, Players to Watch

Team: The Phillies will play with the Surprise Saguaros, alongside players from the Milwaukee Brewers, Cleveland Guardians, Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals.

Players (MLB Pipeline Top 30 ranking in parenthesis): Aidan Miller, SS (No. 2/MLB No. 32); Dante Nori, OF (No. 6); Carson DeMartini, 3B (No. 13); Eiberson Castellano, RHP (No. 24); Jack Dallas, RHP; Jaydenn Estanista, RHP; Daniel Harper, RHP; Tommy McCollum, RHP

Top 30 Prospect to Watch: Dante Nori was the Phillies’ first-round pick in 2024 and he’s starting to cook in the minors. The 20-year-old went from Class-A Clearwater to Double-A Reading in one year, as he slashed .261/.361/.372 with four home runs and 47 RBI. In the next year or two Philadelphia will have to get younger. Justin Crawford, their No. 1 prospect, will be a major step forward. Getting Nori prepared for a full season at Reading in 2026 would be another significant step.

Under-The-Radar Prospect to Watch: The Phillies are sending a group of older pitchers to the AFL. Jack Dallas, a 26-year-old right-hander, is worth watching. He spent last season at Reading and went 1-1 with a 3.74 ERA. He worked almost exclusively as a reliever, as he had three holds and struck out 49 in 49.1 innings. He allowed batters to hit .240 against him. Of the pitchers Philadelphia is sending to the AFL, Dallas is probably the best positioned to help sometime in 2026. This month could be a springboard to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
