The 2023 Major League Baseball draft continues Monday afternoon, with rounds 3-10 taking place on the event’s second day. The Philadelphia Phillies came up with a surprise high school bat on Day 1 of the draft, selecting infielder Aidan Miller with the 27th overall pick.

The Phillies do not have a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft, having forfeited their second and fifth-round picks last season to sign Trey Turner. The team was selected in the third round (total number 98), fourth round (number 130), sixth round (number 193), seventh round (number 223), eighth round (number 253), ninth round (number 233) and 10th round (number 3133). ) Monday.

Day 3 will take place on Tuesday afternoon, concluding the draft with rounds 11-20.

  • 3rd round – No. 98: Devin Saltiban, outfielder, Hilo HS (Hawaii)

Saltiban, 18, from Hawaii, was the top prospect from the state. Although he is known as a shortstop, there is a good chance he will play the field professionally. The young right-hander trained with Colton Wong’s father, Kaha, to prepare for the draft and pro ball, and faced elite competition in the MLB Draft. – Ty Daubert.

  • 4th round – No. 130: Tyshawn Walton, outfielder, IMG Academy (Florida)

The 18-year-old Walton is a bat-first outfielder with superior contact and a solid hitting arsenal. Power isn’t his primary skill at this point, but there’s reason to believe the 6-foot-3 good approach could develop as he moves through the system. – Ty Daubert.

  • Round 6 – No. 193: George Klassen, RHP, University of Minnesota

With Klassen, the Phillies play on collegiate production. Klassen, who had Tommy John surgery, has a “98 average fastball.” The 21-year-old has posted a 6.72 ERA in 25 career collegiate games, 17 of which have been starts. But like, you can either throw 100 mph or you can’t, and he can. – Tim Kelly

Round 7 – No. 223: Jake Eddington, RHP, Missouri State University

A 6-foot-2, 185-pound righty, Eddington went 4-2 with a 4.20 ERA in 55 2/3 innings last season. The 22-year-old slugger will be his meal ticket. He transferred from Alabama to Missouri State, the same college program that drafted Phillies icon Ryan Howard, a fifth-round pick in 2001. – Tim Kelly

8th round – No. 253: Bryson Ware, third baseman, Auburn University

There are now two players named Bryson in the Phillies organization. Ware was identified as a third baseman, but played primarily in the infield in college. The 22-year-old had a breakout season for Auburn in 2023, hitting .350 with 24 home runs, 63 RBIs and a 1.169 OPS. – Tim Kelly
