"Stoudt, now 28, was once a notable prospect. The Mariners selected him with a third-round pick in 2019. He missed the 2020 season, both due to the pandemic and because Stoudt was recovering from Tommy John surgery. Over 2021 and the first half of 2022, he tossed 168 2/3 innings in Seattle's system with a 4.32 earned run average, 23.7% strikeout rate and 8.3% walk rate."
"Things didn't work out with the Reds. He tossed 10 1/3 innings in the majors in 2023, allowing 11 earned runs. He also tossed 82 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level that year with a 6.23 ERA. His 15.1% strikeout rate and 13% walk rate were both poor figures. The Reds designated him for assignment in the 2023-24 offseason."
"If he does so and earns a roster spot, he still has an option season, meaning the Phils could send him to Triple-A and back fairly freely for a year. He also has just ten days of big league service time, meaning he could be affordably controlled for years into the future, though a lot would have to go right before that even becomes a consideration."
Levi Stoudt signed a minor-league deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. A third-round pick by Seattle in 2019, he missed 2020 recovering from Tommy John surgery and posted a 4.32 ERA with a 23.7% strikeout rate and 8.3% walk rate across 168 2/3 innings through mid-2022. Traded to Cincinnati in 2022, Stoudt struggled in 2023 with a 6.23 Triple-A ERA and weak strikeout-to-walk numbers, then moved through multiple waiver claims in 2024–25, compiling a 5.83 minor-league ERA. He remains relatively young and carries roster flexibility and limited MLB service time if he regains form.
