Jordan Dissin says getting drafted by the Phillies earlier this month was surreal. The Pottstown native credits Malvern Prep for shaping the man he is today.
Pottstown's Jordan Dissin ecstatic to be drafted by Phillies. Ducis Rodgers reports for Action News on August 1, 2022."It was surreal," said the Pottstown native and Malvern Prep grad after he was selected in the 12th round of the MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies.Dissin, who is a 6-foot-3 catcher, finished his college career at Saddleback College in California. He graduated from Malvern Prep in 2020 and credits his time there for shaping who he is.
"Baseball there was great -- great competition, but I think Malvern prepared me as kind of a man," he said."Growing up I didn't really have a choice other than becoming a baseball player," he said. Dissin is currently playing in Clearwater, but he got a taste of the majors when he got to work out at Citizens Bank Park before the draft.
"Being there was crazy. Getting on the field and getting to throw on the field ... it was really nice," said Dissin while reminiscing about some of the Phillies greats like Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Shane Victorino. Dissin's bat and his cannon of an arm behind the plate got him to this point. But he won't be satisfied until he makes it to the big leagues.Copyright © 2022 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
