The Phillies landed the No. 1 pick in last year’s draft after finishing with the worst record in baseball in 2015. There was no one standout star in the draft, so the Phils could have went multiple ways with their selection. They opted to pluck UCLA commit Mickey Moniak out of the California high school ranks. He immediately became one of the best prospects in the system.
MLB.com finished up their positional rankings Thursday, releasing their top ten outfield prospect list. Moniak came in at No. 6, the highest-ranked outfielder at Low-A or lower.
