The Philadelphia Phillies have selected Jesuit (Ore.) HS RHP Mick Abel with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft.
Fantasy Impact:
Abel is the first high school pitcher taken in the draft, and rightly so. The tall righty sports a low-to-mid 90's fastball with a changeup and curveball. It may take several years for the high schooler to reach the majors, but rumor has it that he has taken a liking to analytics, meaning that he could unlock even more of his skillset and progress quickly.
