The MLB Draft is this afternoon, which means the final batch of mock drafts have been published. Now, we wait to see which people are most in the know when it comes to the plans of all the other teams. Let’s see what people think the Phillies are going to do.
Phillies mock draft roundup, 1.o
Phillies mock draft roundup, 2.0
Phillies mock draft roundup, 3.0
ESPN – Archer Horn, SS, St. Ignatius Prep HS (CA)
It sounds as if Horn has three or four teams that have him valued among the top-25 players in the draft,
while others think he’s unsignable for how they have him evaluated. I don’t have that full list of interested teams, but rivals think that the Phillies are on the list. Marchand also fits here if he makes it this far, and Jason Amalbert is a target for a later pick.
Baseball America – Caden Sorrell, OF, Texas A&M
Sorrell could be getting passed over by other college outfield profiles like Logan Hughes and Chase Brunson, but I do think he starts to pick up a lot of traction in this range. He would give a 29th-ranked Phillies farm system plenty of upside potential and tools.
Just Baseball – Liam Peterson, RHP, Florida
Peterson has a super wide range, in our honest opinion. There’s a solid chance he goes much higher than this, but most people are split on his future outcome. The stuff is legit, but his command never turned the corner as we expected. If the Phillies had Peterson fall into their lap, they would be extremely happy.
