Key Takeaways

At pick 17, the Philadelphia Phillies selected the son of 4-time American League stolen base leader Carl Crawford. Playing at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Justin hit .503 with five home runs, 20 stolen bases and 60 runs scored.

Bloodlines were a common theme in the draft this year, and look for the trend to continue in drafts to come. Another Holliday is coming up as well, as Jackson’s younger brother Ethan is one of the top prep players for the draft of 2025.
