Here is a look at the first player the Phillies selected in every Draft (specifically, the Rule 4 Draft -- typically in June) since 1965:

2023: Aidan Miller, SS, J.W. Mitchell High School (Trinity, Fla) (No. 27)
The Phillies thought they got a steal in Miller, who missed almost his entire senior season after breaking his left hand early in the spring of 2023. He signed for $3.1 million. The previous summer, Miller won the All-American Game MVP and Home Run Derby during MLB's All-Star break in Los Angeles. A right-handed-hitting infielder, Miller had plus raw power with an ability to turn around velocity without difficulty. He also showed a solid approach that enabled him to make consistent contact, limit strikeouts and work counts, giving the Phillies more confidence he’ll continue to get to that power as he moves up the ladder.

2022: Justin Crawford, OF, Bishop Gorman High School (Las Vegas) (No. 17)
Crawford is the son of Carl Crawford, who spent 15 seasons in the big leagues with the Rays, Red Sox and Dodgers. Justin Crawford batted .503 (77-for-153) with 17 doubles, eight triples, five home runs, 52 RBIs, 20 stolen bases and a 1.379 OPS in 42 games during his senior season at Bishop Gorman. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound outfielder has elite speed and Gold Glove potential in center field.

2021: Andrew Painter, RHP, Calvary Christian Academy (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) (No. 13)
Painter established himself as one of the top prep pitchers in the country because of his combination of size, stuff and feel for pitching. He is 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds with a fastball that sits in the 94-96 mph range and touches 97 mph. He throws a four-seam fastball, sinker, curveball, slider and changeup. He went 6-1 with a 0.31 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings as a senior, earning Florida’s Gatorade Player of the Year Award.

2020: Mick Abel, RHP, Jesuit HS (Ore.) (No. 15)
Regarded as the best high-school pitcher in the Draft, Abel drew comparisons to everybody from Stephen Strasburg to Mike Soroka to Jack Flaherty to Rick Porcello to Justin Verlander. He was the two-time Gatorade Oregon Baseball Player of the Year.

2019: Bryson Stott, SS, University of Nevada at Las Vegas (No. 14)
After a strong start with High-A Jersey Shore in 2021, Stott is playing well with Double-A Reading, too. The Phillies would like him to be an option to replace shortstop Didi Gregorius following the ‘22 season.

2018: Alec Bohm, 3B, Wichita State (No. 3)
Bohm finished second for the 2020 NL Rookie of the Year Award. He figures to be a big part of the Phillies’ future plans.

2017: Adam Haseley, OF, University of Virginia (No. 8)
Haseley had an encouraging Sept. 2019 with the Phillies, but he has been unable to replicate that success since then. He is currently with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

• All-time Draft picks

2016: Mickey Moniak, OF, La Costa Canyon HS (Calif.) (No. 1)
The Phillies maintain that Moniak can be an everyday player in the big leagues. In 46 plate appearances from 2020-21, he has a .513 OPS.

2015: Cornelius Randolph, SS, Griffin HS (Ga.) (No. 10)
The Phillies compared him to Tony Gwynn when they selected him, but so far he has not cracked the big leagues. He is playing in 2021 with Lehigh Valley.

2014: Aaron Nola, RHP, Louisiana State University (No. 7)
Nola ranks sixth among Phillies first-round picks with a 23.0 WAR. He finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting in 2018 and seventh in ‘20.

2013: J.P. Crawford, SS, Lakewood HS (Calif.) (No. 16)
Crawford played with the Phillies from 2017-18. They included him in the December 2018 trade with Seattle to help them get rid of Carlos Santana’s contract after only one season. They got Jean Segura in return.

2012: Shane Watson, RHP, Lakewood HS (Calif.) (No. 40)
Injuries derailed Watson’s career. He never reached the big leagues and has been out of professional baseball since 2018.

2011: Larry Greene, OF, Berrien County HS (Ga.) (No. 39)
Greene told the Phillies that he retired after just three seasons in their system. He never played above Class A Lakewood.

2007: Joe Savery, LHP, Rice University (No. 19)

2006: Kyle Drabek, RHP, The Woodlands HS (Texas) (No. 18)
Drabek never pitched for the Phillies, but Philadelphia included him in the trade that brought it Roy Halladay in December 2009.

2005: Mike Costanzo, 3B, Coastal Carolina University (No. 65)
Costanzo attended Archbishop Carroll High School in Radnor, Pa. He never played for the Phillies, who traded him, Michael Bourn and Geoff Geary to Houston in November 2007 in the trade that brought them Brad Lidge and Eric Bruntlett.

2004: Greg Golson, OF, John R. Connally HS (Texas) (No. 21)

2003: Tim Moss, 2B, University of Texas at Austin (No. 85)
The Phillies lost their first two picks after signing Jim Thome and David Bell. Moss never panned out, but fourth-round pick Michael Bourn did.

2002: Cole Hamels, LHP, Rancho Bernardo HS (Calif.) (No. 17)
Hamels’ 59.1 WAR is the second highest among first-round picks in Phillies history. He won the 2008 World Series and NLCS MVP Award honors. He also threw a no-hitter in his final start for the Phillies in July 2015.

2001: Gavin Floyd, RHP, Mount St. Joseph’s HS (Md.) (No. 4)

2000: Chase Utley, 2B, University of California, Los Angeles (No. 15)

Myers helped the Phillies win their first NL East title in 14 years as their closer in 2007. He returned to the rotation in ‘08 to help them win the World Series.

1998: Pat Burrell, 3B, University of Miami (No. 1)
The Phillies converted Burrell into an outfielder, a position he played the majority of his nine-year career with Philadelphia. He helped the Phils win the 2008 World Series and led the team’s parade down Broad Street.

1997: J.D. Drew, OF, Lowndes County HS (Ga.) (No. 2)
The Phillies famously selected and did not sign Drew, who had a solid 14-year career with the Cardinals, Red Sox, Dodgers and Braves.

1995: Reggie Taylor, OF, Newberry HS (S.C.) (No. 14)
Taylor played 14 games for the Phillies before they traded him to the Reds in March 2002 for Hector Mercado. The Phillies were planning to take Roy Halladay, if the Pirates selected Taylor with the 10th overall pick. But once Pittsburgh took another player, they went with Taylor instead.
