Drafted in the 10th round (300th overall) by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2019 (signed for $5,000).
View Draft Report
Drafted by the Twins in the 20th round back in 2014, Tatum instead made it to campus where he's underperformed and played sparingly due to performance and a broken wrist in 2018 that limited him to just 24 games. Healthy in 2019, Tatum had a break-out season and tapped into some power, hitting 12 home runs and putting up a .353/.397/.601 triple slash. He doesn't have much wood bat track record to speak of, and he's behind in at-bats considering how long he's been in school, but his recent power could intrigue a team.
