In an interesting turn of events, shortstop Bryson Stott fell to the Philadelphia Phillies at No. 14 in the first round of the MLB Draft Monday evening. All of the Phillies top pitching options – George Kirby, Zack Thompson and Jackson Rutledge – were all still on the board at the time of this selection. Instead, the Phillies selected a college position player in the first round for the third consecutive season (they selected outfielder Adam Haseley in 2017 and third baseman Alec Bohm in 2018).
