If the MLB Pipeline is correct, the Philadelphia Phillies have a prospect who could make a big jump during the 2024 season. The site recently made predictions in several categories, including which Top 100 prospect would see the greatest increase in his ranking next season. One of the experts, Jonathan Mayo, predicted that Phillies prospect Aidan Miller would make the biggest leap. Miller is currently the Phillies’ No. 4 prospect, but he is ranked No. 90 overall. Mayo considers the No. 27 pick in the 2023 Draft out of high school to be a “steal” and explains why: He missed most of his senior year due to a broken hamate. I believe he was a Top 10 pick, if not in the top half of the first round. He has a lot of power.
He is capable of playing third base. He made a strong comeback after a lengthy absence. He made it to full-season ball after dominating the Florida Complex League. Miller has only played 20 games in the major leagues, so he hasn’t seen a lot of action. He did, however, hit 303/.425/.379/.804 with three doubles and two RBI. However, his.216 batting average at Class A Clearwater demonstrated that the jump to full-season ball was significant.
However, with a full offseason in the Phillies organization and a full Spring Training in Clearwater, Mayo believes Miller has a chance to advance from Clearwater to High-A Jersey Shore in 2024. After Miller represented the United States National Team as an Under-15 and Under-18 player, the Phillies invested $3.1 million in above-slot money in him. As a U-18 player, he batted.478 with two home runs, three triples, seven walks, and eight RBI to help Team USA win the 2022 Baseball World Cup.
