The Good Phight’s Community Prospect list: #20 – Ramon Marquez

With this, the final name has been registered and we have a list.

Ramon Marquez – 136
Zach McCambley – 45
Griffin Burkholder – 16
Keaton Anthony – 13
Alex McFarlane – 10
Seth Johnson – 8
Mavis Graves – 1

Kind of fitting that Marquez finishes off this list. A 19 year old kid that has a tough changeup and the makings of a decent fastball, he’s one of those arms that can be dreamt on whenever he is able to arrive. The Phillies might see their system take off a bit in the eyes of national people if players like Marquez can take a step forward this year. It looks like he has the basis to do so.

2025 stats (with complex league and Clearwater)

14 G (12 GS), 55 IP, 30.3 K%, 7.1 BB%, 0.65 HR/9, 4.42 ERA (3.36 FIP)

Fangraphs scouting report

Marquez throws hard for his age, albeit with downhill plane and movement that makes it vulnerable to contact. His best pitch, and maybe the best individual pitch in the system, is a Bugs Bunny changeup that generated an elite miss rate (just over 60%!) last season. It has an absurd amount of sinking and tailing action, and is absolutely the kind of pitch that could spearhead a relief profile on its own. Marquez also has a fringy slider that sometimes has a cutter look and velo, and he might be suited to have an explicit cutter rather than the hybrid look of his current breaker.

And there you have it. You have spoken, we have listened and these are the top twenty prospects in the Phillies’ system according to The Good Phight community.
