Crawford split his first full season as a professional between Lakewood and Clearwater in 2014. He batted .285 with 11 homers in 123 games total at the two levels. The 19-year-old was named to the MLB Futures Game in August after being the first-round draft pick of the Phillies in 2013.

Nola was the first player selected by the Phillies in the 2014 draft and was pitching in Clearwater by the end of June. He had 45 strikeouts with a 2.93 ERA over 55.1 innings pitched between Advanced-A and Double-A during the season. Nola is progressing quickly through the system, and could be Major-League ready by sometime in 2015.

Mecias, Grullon, Tocci, and Cozens all spent time in Class-A Lakewood during the 2014 season and could be eligible for a promotion to Clearwater in 2015.
