The Phillies continue to go off the board in the 5th round. This time it is a 6’5″ 175lb LHP out of Chino Hills HS in California. Bailey Falter is 85-89 with a three pitch mix and feel for the strike zone. This is all projection, but it is off the board so there is a question about what he will sign for. In his senior year he had a 1.20 ERA with 11 BB and 97 K over 75.2 IP.
LHP Bailey Falter was just 84-86 at Area Codes last summer. Super easy, loose. Long arms. #mlbdraft #Phillies
