ATLANTA — The Phillies entered the season with one of the top farm systems in baseball, and that has not changed.

MLB.com’s midseason Top 100 prospect list, released Thursday, includes five Phillies: shortstop J.P. Crawford (third overall), outfielder Mickey Moniak (34th), outfielder Nick Williams (62nd), catcher Jorge Alfaro (72nd) and right-hander Jake Thompson (73rd).

Only the Astros (seven) and Pirates (six) have more players in the top 100.
