Dante Nori is a 2024 first-round pick for the Philadelphia Phillies who was initially overlooked due to his age (nearly 20 at draft) and competition level in Michigan.

He showcased his skills during the World Baseball Classic with Team Italy, posting a .400/.435/.750 slash line with 2 HR in 7 games.
