Scouting Report: Vierling showed some of the best exit velocities in the organization during spring training, turning in 115-116 mph speeds off the bat thanks to the strength gains he made during the 2020 shutdown. The Phillies believe his power now grades out at plus, and his bat-to-ball skills have improved as well, though he needs to cut down on swing-and-miss. Vierling is an impressive athlete who can play both corner infield spots and anywhere in the outfield, with plus speed and above-average defense in center field to go with a plus arm. The Phillies believe Vierling’s bat and ability to play multiple positions will make him a super-utility player who could carve out a long big league career.
The Future: After ending the season in the big leagues, Vierling should be back in the mix for a spot on the MLB roster for 2022 Opening Day.
