MLB Pipeline's newest mock draft has the Philadelphia Phillies selecting a Texas high schooler with their first pick.
will be selecting at the 27th pick in this year's draft after another deep playoff run in 2023. In, Jim Callis had the Fightin's picking Theo Gillen, a high school middle infielder out of Westlake High School in Austin, Texas., but is summed up perfectly with Callis saying that the infielder "might possess the best hitting ability in the high school crop."
A shortstop by trade, he could quickly move to second base despite his speed giving him some good range at the position. His arm "hasn't bounced back" after suffering a labrum injury, which could force him out of shortstop in the long term. If he does move to second base, his 55-grade power gives him the ability to become a high floor, power-hitting second baseman in the future.
