Phillies select outfielder Baron Radcliff with final pick

With their final pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, the Philadelphia Phillies selected outfielder Baron Radcliff from Georgia Tech.

Radcliff appears to be a boom-or-bust type hitter, perhaps not that dissimilar from Corenelius Randolph, expect he wasn’t a first-round pick. Radcliff hit 19 home runs and drove in 73 runs in 330 at-bats in his collegiate career. That said, he struck out 135 times in 112 career college games, so there’s work to be done.
