In the 2009 MLB Draft, the Phillies selected two center fielders with their first two picks: Kelly Dugan out of Sherman Oaks, CA was taken in the second round and Kyrell Hudson of Vancouver, WA in the third. Dugan, now 25, has reached Triple-A Lehigh Valley and is on the 40-man roster while Hudson is out of baseball after hitting just .224 and maxing out at Clearwater in 2013. Of the team’s 49 picks in 2009, five players’ primary positions were center field.
Six years later, only one was a Major League player for the Philadelphia Phillies.
