The Phillies may target Arkansas pitcher Hunter Dietz in the upcoming draft, despite concerns over his injury history, including elbow issues. Standing 6’6″ and weighing 235 lbs, Dietz has demonstrated strong strikeout potential with a 13.8 K/9 rate this year, but command remains a concern. His pitch mix features a fastball reaching 98 mph, alongside a promising curve and a developing slider/cutter. However, his lack of a reliable changeup and injury risks raise doubts about his viability as a top draft pick.
