The Phillies focused heavily on offense early in this week's Major League Baseball draft.
Eight of Philadelphia's first 11 picks were used on hitters. They didn't select a pitcher until their sixth pick, when they took Oregon State left-hander Ben Holmes.
The Phillies selected California high school shortstop J.P. Crawford with the 16th overall pick in the draft.
"I think [the draft] was fairly deep in the pitching board and not real deep on the offense board for high school or college, so we tried to focus on that and get as much as we could done," assistant general manager Marti Wolever said.
