With the 17th pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, the Philadelphia Phillies selected prep outfielder Justin Crawford, the son of four-time All-Star Carl Crawford.

Like his dad, Justin possesses serious wheels and is one of the best athletes in this draft class.

Crawford graduated from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, which formerly housed Joey Gallo and New York Yankees first-rounder Austin Wells.
