The Phillies have signed outfielder Dante Nori, selected No. 27 overall in the first round of the 2024 MLB Draft, the club announced today.

Nori, 19, slashed .477/.575/.748 with a 1.323 OPS, 52 runs scored, 23 extra-base hits, 32 walks and 20 stolen bases in 39 games in 2024 as he led Northville to its first state championship in the school’s 115-year history.

The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Nori was named to the MaxPreps All-America First Team in 2024, one of five outfielders in the country who received the honor. He was also named the 2024 Michigan Player of the Year by MaxPreps. A 2024 Preseason Perfect Game All-American, Nori was named Mr. Baseball by the Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association in 2024, an award given annually to the top baseball player in the state of Michigan.
