On Day 1 of Major League Baseball’s 2025 amateur draft, the Phillies went with experience on the mound.
With three picks in the first three rounds on Sunday night, the organization drafted three college pitchers. The Phillies selected right-hander Gage Wood out of Arkansas with the 26th pick in the first round, Iowa left-hander Cade Obermueller with the No. 63 pick in the second round and Vanderbilt righty Cody Bowker with the 100th overall pick in the third.
Wood had a 3.82 ERA in 10 starts this year and threw a no-hitter at the College World Series last month, but he did miss a portion of the season due to injury.
