And The Phillies Select.............


High School (Salisbury HS, CT) shortstop Anthony Hewitt with the 24th overall pick. Here is Anthony's scouting report from ESPN draft guru Keith Law:

"Hewitt looks as good as anyone in a uniform in this year's draft. He's a five-tool package. He will put on a show in batting practice, but he's struggled in game situations against tough competition, like at the Area Code Games last summer. He projects more as a center fielder than as a shortstop. If everything clicks, he's a potential superstar. The problem is that he's about 4-6 years away unless he developmentally makes a quantum leap forward. He's high risk, potential high reward."

More on the MLB Draft later today.
