Phillies Sign Draft Pick Gose, 7 Others

The Phillies have signed eight draft picks, including a biggie: Anthony Gose.

Gose, the 51st overall pick, is an outfielder/pitcher who was a strong possibility to instead go to the University of Arizona. As an outfielder he’s a nice toolsie player, but as a pitcher he throws a 97 mph fastball, and he’s left-handed.

The other signees:

• Jeremy Hamilton (5th round, 1B)
• Cody Overbeck (9th round, 3B)
• Daniel Hargrave (22nd round, 2B)
• Brandon Haislet (23rd round, OF)
• Jordan Ellis (28th round, RHP)
• Michael Cisco (36th round, RHP)
• Bryan Frew (43rd round, OF)

All of the signees are college players, except for Gose.

That’s great news.
