With the No. 13 overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, the Philadelphia Phillies selected Andrew Painter out of Calvary Christian High School in Florida.
Painter will join a farm system that isn’t currently one of the better ones in the league. There’s a lot of excitement about last year’s first-round pick, Mick Abel, a 19-year-old righty currently pitching at Low-A Clearwater. 2019 fist-round pick Bryson Stott played in the MLB Futures Game Sunday, and could very well make an impact at the major league level in 2022.
Beyond those two, though, there’s not a ton to look forward to in the farm system right now.
