Alfaro, 23, was acquired by the Phillies in the 2015 Cole Hamels trade.

MLB Pipeline gives the 6'2, 225-pound catcher an overall grade of 55 out of 80, with an impressive "well above-average" arm grade of 70.

"There is still work to be done in terms of his pitch selection and plate discipline, which will enable him to tap into that plus raw power more consistently, but he continues to show the ability to drive the ball to all fields," MLB Pipeline wrote of Alfaro's hitting.
