SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) – A capsule look at the top 10 picks in the Major League Baseball draft on Thursday night:
___
1. PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
MICKEY MONIAK, OF, La Costa Canyon H.S. (California), 6-foot-2, 190 pounds.
First high school outfielder to be selected No. 1 since Tampa Bay drafted Delmon Young in 2003. Tremendous athlete considered five-tool talent whose stock rose throughout senior season. Left-handed hitter is consistent to all fields with solid power to gaps. Outstanding defensive player who has good speed and will likely remain in center field as a pro. Video of impressive over-the-shoulder catch in Area Code Games in California last summer has nearly 4,000 views.
