The Philadelphia Phillies showed a lot of confidence in Mickey Moniak when they selected him first overall in the 2016 MLB draft. Although signability may have factored into the decision to take Moniak, the bottom line is that general manager Matt Klentak and the Phillies organization liked the then-18-year-old’s tools. They believed that he would be someone that could help progress the rebuild and be a real contributor in future seasons.
Fast-forward a few years to 2020 and the idea of Moniak being a key contributor is a forgotten concept to many Phillies fans.
