Phillies Draft Spangler Amid Injury Hurdles | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
The Phillies snagged shortstop Tyler Spangler at 36th overall — a pick penalized by 10 spots for luxury tax overage — despite his injury-riddled senior season, and now face a high-stakes signing race before July 27. At 6’3”, Spangler’s contact-hitting style and Stanford commitment could push his bonus above slot value, echoing past draft drama with Aidan Miller — who also fell due to injury, recovered, and now battles his own back issues. In round two, the Phillies added outfielder Caden Bogenpohl, a Missouri State slugger who shattered Ryan Howard’s school HR record with 20 homers as a freshman and hit 39 total over three seasons. With signing deadlines looming, the Phillies’ draft class is still very much in flux.
