LAKEWOOD, N.J. - Regardless of what he achieves during his baseball career, Mickey Moniak will always carry the label of being the No. 1 overall selection in the 2016 draft.
Nearing the year anniversary of his selection by the Phillies, the former star at La Costa Canyon High in Carlsbad, Calif., is more than holding his own playing in low A for the Lakewood BlueClaws in New Jersey.
And the center-field prospect leads the team in one unofficial category: most interview requests. Invariably the subject turns to how he is handling the pressure of being the first player selected in the draft.
