A Look at the Phillies First-Round Draft Picks Since 2000

The Phillies selected right-handed pitcher Mick Abel, a high school pitcher from Jesuit HS in Oregon with the 15th pick of the 2020 MLB Draft.

He has been described as a pitcher with a mid 90s with a fastball, a slider, a curve and a change, throwing all four of his pitches for strikes.

“I’m definitely hoping we’re going to get a guy that has four pitches that are quality and are going to get major league hitters out," Phillies director of scouting Brian Barber said during a zoom call. 

Over the years the Phillies have had some very good first-round picks, with Chase Utley and Cole Hamels at the top of that list and some not so good ones, like Larry Greene, Anthony Hewitt, Zach Collier among others.
