Philadelphia picks No. 3 overall on June 4

PHILADELPHIA -- If the Phillies have their way, this will be the last time in a long time they have a top 10 pick in the Draft.

They have the third overall pick this year. They had a top 10 pick in each of the previous four years. That run seems likely to end in 2019. If everything breaks right, they will find themselves on a run like they had from 2002-12, when they never picked higher than 17th.

"There's a lot of good players that have gone in the past 15 through 30," Phillies amateur scouting director Johnny Almaraz said Sunday.
