Kevin McGonigle put up some amazing numbers during his senior season: a batting average over .500 while only striking out twice.The Philadelphia Phillies had the 27th overall pick Monday in the first day of the 2023 MLB Draft.ESPN's Dan Mullen took a closer look at the newest Phillie:"A longtime member of various Team USA youth teams, Miller has drawn comparisons to Donaldson since he was 15.
Brian Barber, Phillies Director of Amateur Scouting, said in a statement, "We feel incredibly fortunate and excited to be able to draft a talent like Aidan Miller. We thought he was one of the best hitters we had seen on the showcase circuit and with Team USA last year. He had an unfortunate hamate injury this spring, but we watched his workouts after the season and felt strongly that Aidan is a special player who could make a significant impact in our organization.
"The rest of the tools maybe don't jump out at you, but the most important is the hit tool -- and that's what McGonigle has."
