Following on yesterday’s and today’s draft theme, Cole Hamels reminded us of the impact a quality draftee can make.  Cole shook off any remnants of his shoulder discomfort and in 5 and 2/3 innings allowed three hits, one run and two walks, striking out two.  He threw 90 pitches, 64 for strikes.  The Arizona announcers were repeatedly amazed at Hamels’ control as they several times referred to how Sal Fasano hardly ever had to move his glove to catch a pitch.  His first big league win propelled the Phillies to a 7-3 record in their last 10 games and they are now within 3.5 games of the division leading Mets.  Ryan Madson takes to the hill this afternoon as the Fightins attempt to sweep Arizona before heading back the East Coast.  Opposing him will be Dustin Nippert who has yet to see action this season.

With all the talk of youngsters, it’s best we take a look at the results from Day 1 of the MLB draft yesterday.  Below is a recap of the Phillies’ selections.
