The Phillies went heavy on college players in this year’s draft, taking just one high schooler in the first ten rounds. One of those many college players was their first-round selection, Virginia outfielder Adam Haseley. Haseley, along with his college teammate Pavin Smith, was linked to Philadelphia numerous times as the draft neared.
With Haseley now set to be a Phillie, the next question is when will we see him play at Citizens Bank Park? It may be sooner than you think.
Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com pointed out several players who he thinks could make it to the major-leagues fairly quickly after being drafted.
