CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Mickey Moniak had what he hopes will be a glimpse into the future on Saturday.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 Draft joined the Phillies in the home portion of its split-squad day in a game against Baltimore.
Though he did not play and was only listed as a reserve, the time spent amongst established veterans and exciting young players hoping to make the Opening Day roster was invaluable.
"The message to Moniak is that it's great to get your feet wet and just be around the Major League players, in that Major League clubhouse and in that Major League dugout," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said.
