The Phillies completed their 2016 Draft on Saturday, when they selected 30 players. In the end, the club selected 12 high school players and 28 college players overall, including four junior college players. The Phillies took 16 right-handers, seven left-handers, four catchers, three first basemen, one third baseman, three shortstops and six outfielders.
"We're extremely happy," Phillies amateur scouting director Johnny Almaraz said. "We think we've got a very good balance of high school and college players as far as offense is concerned. And we've got the same with high school and college pitchers. I think it was a very balanced Draft.
