Tracking the Phillies’ Day 3 draft picks

The Phillies have the 29th pick in rounds 11 through 20 of the 2023 MLB Draft, which wraps up on Tuesday.

The Phillies selected shortstop Aidan Miller out of J.W. Mitchell High School in Florida with the 27th selection. The club made seven selections on Day 2.

We’ll be tracking all of the Phillies’ Day 3 picks here.

• Round 11 — No. 343: Kehden Hettiger, catcher, Sierra Canyon High School (California)

Hettiger is a switch-hitting bat-first catcher with power from the left side. If the Phillies sign him, it will likely be on an overslot deal as the 19-year-old is committed to playing at Oregon.

11-343. Phillies: Kehden Hettiger, C, Sierra Canyon HS (CA) — hit-first prep C w/ confidence in hit tool, disciplined rhythmic SWH w/ more natural feel and raw pwr as LHH, athletic enough w/ strong arm to move off C to 3B/OF if dev can't keep him at backstop (Oregon commit)

• Round 12 — No. 373: Brandon Beckel, right-handed pitcher, Texas Tech

Beckel is a 21-year-old multi-inning reliever coming off a solid year with Texas Tech in 2023, where he posted a 2.23 ERA in 48 1/3 innings. Baseball America’s scouting report says he’s got a top-down slider that he’s able to both generate swing-and-miss and command in the strike zone.

12-373. Phillies: Brandon Beckel, RHP, Texas Tech — dawg in him college reliever, heavy low/mid 90's FB, s/m pwr SL w/ vert, strong build w/ command while showing length at TTU giving multi-inning/swing relief upside

• Rounds 13 — No. 403: Marty Gair, right-handed pitcher, Florida Southwestern Junior College

Gair, 19, is a six-foot-six right-hander who is capable of hitting 100 mph on the radar gun, according to his college coach. He’s one of the many draft prospects who recently attended the MLB Draft Combine in Arizona. Baseball America has him ranked at No. 374 among draft prospects. He transferred from UNC Wilmington following the 2022 season.

13-403. Phillies: Marty Gair, RHP, Florida Southwestern JC (FL) — big-bodied power JUCO arm, mid 90's FB w/ carry from high slot, slow CV has big separation from FB, needed refinements to delivery and well blw-avg ctrl/cmd to tap into mass power relief upside
