When the Phillies drafted Mickey Moniak with the number one overall pick in 2016, there was an immense amount of pressure placed on the shoulders of a kid not even out of high school.
Early in his career Moniak has crumbled under the pressure, hitting .236 for Lakewood in 2017. It wasn’t until a visit from his high school friends last year that Moniak found his bat, which was touted as very steady and consistent.
Now entering his third full season as a professional baseball player Moniak has a new voice helping lead him towards his goal of making the big leagues, Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper.
