Grading the Philadelphia Phillies' first 5 picks of the 2025 MLB Draft

As the 2025 MLB Draft dwindled down, the Philadelphia Phillies deviated from their recent selection strategy — taking high school players with high upside.

This year, the organization's brass opted to make a complete 180 and take college-level pitchers with their first eight picks. It seems that the front office and scouting department have plans to fix the bullpen and add pitching depth sooner rather than later.

As with any prospects, it remains to be seen what will transpire for any of these pitchers. One thing is for sure; they all have potential.
