Philadelphia Phillies general manager Matt Klentak recently joined former infielder and current broadcaster Kevin Frandsen on the “Pine Tar for Breakfast” podcast to discuss his thoughts on the unique circumstances surrounding this month’s 2020 MLB Draft.
Klentak and Frandsen went over the unique 2020 draft process, the importance of listening to everyone’s opinion throughout the draft process, getting to know the prospects during these unique circumstances, and how prospects took advantage of technology to show teams their worth.
Also, they reviewed each of the Phillies’ four draft picks, which include RHP Mick Abel (round 1), infielder Casey Martin (round 3), RHP Carson Ragsdale (round 4), and outfielder Baron Radcliff (round 5).
