Phillies sign first-round pick Cornelius Randolph
Less than 24 hours after the darkest night (so far) of the 2015 season, the Phillies hopefully released some good news about their future.
Cornelius Randolph, the team's first-round selection (10th pick overall) in the First-Year Player Draft held earlier this month, has agreed to terms with the club, director of amateur scouting Johnny Almaraz announced Tuesday.
The 18-year-old Randolph, listed by some as the best high school hitter in the draft, played for Griffin High School in Griffin, Ga., where he batted .526 in 17 games with 11 doubles, seven home runs, 27 walks and a .934 slugging percentage during his senior season.
