1 forgotten Phillies draft pick primed for breakout 2026 season

The 2026 season is expected to be a big year for Philadelphia Phillies sixth-round draft pick Mavis Graves as he continues to make his way through the minor league system.

MLB Pipeline recently named Graves as the Phillies prospect most likely to break out this season after a very promising end to his 2025 minor league campaign. He follows Aroon Escobar who had a breakout season after being named a candidate ahead of last year.

Graves, 22, was selected in the sixth round by the Phillies in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Eastside High School in Taylors, South Carolina.
