Former first-round draft pick Cornelius Randolph and at least 11 other Phillies prospects will soon play in Australia.
Some key Philadelphia Phillies prospects have not seen live, professional game action for more than 14 months. With the 2020 minor-league season and Arizona Fall League canceled, that gap will only lengthen as we head into the winter months.
The Phillies are getting creative with several of their prospects in the meantime, however, to help them continue their development. They will send former first-round pick outfielder Cornelius Randolph, utility player Luke Williams, and at least seven others — a mix of position players and pitchers — to Australia to play for the Adelaide Giants in the upcoming 2020-21 Australian Baseball League (ABL) season.
