On June 9th, the Phillies will reap the benefits (using that term loosely) of a horrendous 2015 season where they were the worst team in all of baseball. Now, the front office will continue the rebuild when they draft number one overall in Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft.
Only a small portion of first overall picks have become elite players at the highest level. Baseball is one of, if not, the toughest professional sport to predict what an athlete will do in his or her career.
Is having the first pick in the draft exciting?
