Phillies Sign Top Draft Pick Tyler Spangler | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
The Phillies just handed out a massive $3.25 million bonus to their top 2026 draft pick, 18-year-old shortstop Tyler Spangler from California — a steal compared to his slot value and a clear signal they’re building for the future. Already being compared to Corey Seager for his size and left-handed swing, Spangler skipped college at Stanford to jump straight into pro ball. Despite missing his senior year due to a back injury, he’s medically cleared and impressed scouts at the MLB Draft Combine and a private workout. The Phillies took a calculated risk — and it’s one that could pay off big if Spangler lives up to the hype.
