The 2015 MLB draft has already produced two major-leaguers in shortstops Dansby Swanson and Brendan Rogers, and it will certainly produce. The Phillies hope they have one of those future major-leaguers in their 2015 first-round pick, Cornelius Randolph.
Coming into the draft, Randolph was the No. 19 prospect according to MLB.com and Baseball America. He was clearly higher on Philadelphia’s board as they took Randolph with the No. 10 overall pick. The team signed Randolph to a $3.2 million bonus, right at the slot value according to BA.
Randolph started off his professional career on the right foot with the rookie-level GCL Phillies.
