The Phillies drafted Andrew Knapp in the second round of the 2013 First Year Player Draft after playing three years at the University of California. He played in the minor league system for four years and has a Paul Owens Award (best position player in the system) under his belt from 2015, when he hit .360 with 11 home runs and 56 RBI for double-A Reading.
Knapp hit .266 for triple A Lehigh Valley last season and had to stave off a veteran catcher in Ryan Hanigan this spring to earn backup catching duties.
