2017: Adam Haseley

The Phillies selected an outfielder for the third straight year when they took Adam Haseley from the University of Virginia this year. So far this season he’s been performing well

Haseley played three games in the Gulf Coast League and picked up seven hits. Then he was promoted to short-season Williamsport, where he has played 31 games. In that span, Haseley has hit for a .288/.370/.407 line, walking 13 times and striking out 24 times in 136 plate appearances. He has two home runs and eight doubles, driving in 15 runs. Haseley has gone 5-for-8 in stolen base attempts.

Haseley has performed about as well as fans could hope so far in his professional career. This year is a solid building block for Haseley as he starts to rise through the minor-league system.
