Being the Phillies first-round pick and No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft means Mickey Moniak will always have high expectations set for him. When he was drafted, the team said he has the potential to be a four-tool, if not a five-tool player in the major leagues.
Almost two years later, there are significant doubts about if he even has a major-league future. After a disappointing 2017 season in Low-A Lakewood, Moniak dropped down or completely off many top prospect lists. Thanks to another disappointing start, he is falling even further out of favor.
