2015 Fantasy Outlook
Sandberg, a third-round pick out of high school in 2013, chose to sign with the Phillies over a football scholarship to Mississippi State. His numbers in his first two seasons in the minors are underwhelming, but it is important to remember that Sandberg was a two-sport athlete in high school and did not focus on baseball year-round. He needs time to accumulate at-bats and hone his skills. Sandberg is considered a good athlete that runs well with the potential to hit for power down the road. He's the kind of prospect the Phillies have historically tried to bet on. Whether he can turn his tools into production on the field remains to be seen.

Joe Jordan, the Phillies' director of player development, said he is not concerned by Sandberg's slow start in the Gulf Coast League, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "He has a chance to be everything the scouts feel, but he needs to play," Jordan said. "He is probably 1,000 games behind guys who only played baseball."
