After a successful first full season in the minors and in the midst of a dominant stretch in the Arizona Fall League, shortstop Bryson Stott was voted Philadelphia’s top prospect in the latest Phillies prospect poll.
The results were announced on Sunday afternoon. The annual poll, organized at the end of the 2021 season by former Williamsport Sun-Gazette Crosscutters beat writer Mitch Rupert for the first time after years of former Reading Eagle Fightin Phils reporter Mike Drago doing so, consisted of 18 minor-league writers and reporters for various media outlets, podcasters and social media personalities who focus on the Phillies as voters.
Each voter made a ballot ranking 20 prospects, which was aggregated into a top 25 list. Stott (8) and Mick Abel (10) received first place votes. Stott, Abel, Andrew Painter, Johan Rojas and Logan O’Hoppe were all placed on each ballot.
Three members of the Phillies Nation staff participated in this year’s poll: Tim Kelly, Destiny Lugardo and myself, Ty Daubert. The three ballots submitted by Phillies Nation can be found below:
