The Philadelphia Phillies' front office surprised some by selecting a multitude of college arms in the 2025 MLB Draft. This approach differs greatly from the organization's draft strategy over the past few seasons, but it seems that there is a plan in place: stockpile arms who can make an impact quickly.
While the most noteworthy selection was Gage Wood, the Arkansas standout, other choices are equally intriguing.
Fifth-round pick Gabe Craig is one of those pitchers. In fact, he has one quality that has drawn some comparisons to current Phillies' reliever Orion Kerkering.
