Phillies select Andrew Painter with 2021 first-round pick
Citizens Bank Park has been home to the Philadelphia Phillies since 2004. (Tim Kelly/Phillies Nation)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.
