The Philadelphia Phillies are ecstatic that former Arkansas shortstop Casey Martin fell to them in the third round, with Baseball America‘s JJ Cooper saying he was a “massive get” at the spot that the team landed him.
Though Cooper said that “hit tool questions” caused Martin to fall a bit, Phillies scouting director Brian Barber wasn’t interested in speculating on Friday about why Martin fell. He’s just happy that things unfolded the way that they did.
