Perci Garner Rumors


Phillies Agree To Terms With Draft Pick Garner

The Phillies have agreed to terms with second-round draft pick Perci Garner, MLBTR has learned. The right-hander, out of Ball State, was drafted 77th overall yesterday by Philadelphia.

According to MLB.com's Zach Schonbrun, Garner shot up a few draft boards after hitting 96 mph with his fastball earlier this season. Phillies scouting director Marti Wolever expressed optimism about Garner's potential:

"He's very athletic.... We think he's got tremendous topside, great live body, loose arm, [a] chance to have at least three quality pitches."

The Phillies also agreed to a deal with first-round selection Jesse Biddle, and have now locked up their top two picks from this year's draft.
