Phillies first-round woes
A look at the organization’s last 12 years of first-round draft picks
Year: Player, Position, HS or college: Outcome
2010: Jesse Biddle, LHP, HS: Never pitched in the majors with the Phillies
2011: Larry Greene, OF, HS: Never made it above A-ball
2012: Shane Watson, RHP, HS: Made it to Double-A Reading in 2017
2012: Mitch Gueller, RHP, HS: Got as high as low-A Lakewood
2013: J.P. Crawford, SS, HS: 2020 Gold Glove shortstop for Mariners; played 30 of 66 games with Phillies at somewhere other than shortstop
2014: Aaron Nola, RHP, College: Zipped through the minors and completed his sixth full season with the Phils
2015: Cornelius Randolph, OF, HS: Had a stellar first half of 2021 with Triple-A Lehigh Valley before an elbow injury kept him out nearly three months. He was not the same hitter after returning
2016: Mickey Moniak, OF, HS: Went back and forth between Triple-A and the majors. He is major league-ready defensively
2017: Adam Haseley, OF, College: Missed considerable time this year and last due to illness, injury and personal reasons. Has been in 116 games with the Phils
2018: Alec Bohm, 3B, College: Spent all of 2020 and most of this season with the Phillies, but struggled offensively and defensively before being sent this summer to Triple-A for the first time
2019: Bryson Stott, SS, College: Sped through the system this year and appears on the cusp of a major-league opportunity
2020: Mick Abel, RHP, HS: Last pitched July 21 for low-A Clearwater because of a shoulder issue. Pitched in 14 games (44 ⅔ innings)
2021: Andrew Painter, RHP, HS: Pitched in four games this summer in the Florida Complex League (6 IP, 12 strikeouts, 0 BBs, 0 ER)
