The Phils held the 10th overall pick in the 2015 MLB Amateur Draft, and there was much speculation that they would try to pick up a player with big offensive potential.
It appears that they got their man with the player who now, eight months later, is already considered a top five prospect by our staff, in one of the most improved minor league systems in the game today.
That player is 18-year old outfielder Cornelius Randolph, taken last year out of Griffin High School in Georgia. The 5’11, 205 pounder is a lefty-hitting, righty-fielding, bat-first prospect who turned down a scholarship to Clemson in order to sign with the Phillies.
