Phillies draft Aidan Miller, high school infielder, in first round of 2023 MLB Draft
The Philadelphia Phillies selected high school infielder Aidan Miller from J.W. Mitchell High School in Florida as their first-round pick in the 2023 MLB draft. Miller, a right-handed hitter with raw power, played shortstop in high school but has recently shifted to third base. He is the fourth consecutive high school player chosen in the first round by the Phillies since 2020. The team lost their second- and fifth-round picks due to signing Trea Turner. Day 2 of the draft, including Rounds 3-10, will begin on Monday.
