MLB Draft 2016: Phillies projected to select A.J. Puk in latest mock draft

Philadelphia is projected to take Florida left-handed pitcher A.J. Puk with the first overall pick in MLB.com's latest mock draft.

Puk hasn't had much success with the Gators this spring, pitching to a 2.93 ERA over 58.1 innings. His 1.17 WHIP is the lowest of his three seasons with Florida, but he is striking out fewer batters per nine innings this season compared to his 2.97 mark in 2015.

With a mid-90s fastball and plus slider, Puk has been projected to be taken first overall in three of MLB.com's four mock drafts.

Puk was also projected to head to Philadelphia in the first round in ESPN Insider Keith Law's latest mock draft.

Over the last few seasons, the Phillies have had a fair amount of success drafting productive players.

J.P. Crawford was selected in the first round in 2013 and was recently promoted to Triple-A at 21, becoming the second-youngest player in the International League.

Aaron Nola was the Phillies' first round selection in 2014 and boasts the third-best FIP in baseball.

Last spring, Philadelphia selected Cornelius Randolph, who batted .302 over his first 53 professional games last season.

Puk would be the latest productive arm to join the Phillies, but if they decide to pass on the lefty, they could turn to the best high school or college position players on the board.
