Cornelius Randolph - OF - Phillies Phillies prospect OF Cornelius Randolph reached base in each of his four plate appearances Thursday in his professional debut for the Gulf Coast League Phillies.
Randolph went 3-for-3 with a triple, RBI and walk in the game. The Phillies selected the 18-year-old with the No. 10 overall pick in this year’s draft and gave him a signing bonus of $3,231,300. An infielder in high school, Randolph already has been moved to the outfield, potentially giving him a more direct route to the major leagues than if he were to stay at either shortstop or third base. Regardless of his defensive home, Randolph’s excellent bat is what will make him an impact player for years to come.
