Coming off of back-to-back 73-89 seasons, the Phillies were fully embroiled in the rebuild. The 2015 MLB Draft would mark the second time in three years the Phillies would be making a top 10 selection. In 2014, they selected Aaron Nola at number seven overall. Just a year before that, they landed J.P. Crawford with the 16th pick. With the 10th pick in the 2015 MLB Draft, there was optimism the Phillies would be able to add another top prospect to a weak but improving farm system.
