The young outfielder had ample chances to be a starter for the Phillies
Former Phillies outfielder John Mayberry Jr. is one of a handful second-generation MLB players. His father, John Sr., played for the Royals, Yankees, Astros and Blue Jays over a 15-year career, but Jr. struggled to get his career as a full-time player off the ground.
Mayberry Jr. was drafted in the first round twice, first with the 28th overall pick by the Mariners in 2002 out of high school and later with the 19th pick in 2005 for the Rangers out of Stanford University.
