Phil Kerber
Georgia Scouting Director

As we begin to close the book on 2022 and shift our focus to a brand-new year, we continue our tradition of highlighting the Top-25 Most Viewed Profiles for the calendar year. Using Google Analytics, our staff was able to compile a list of the Top-25 prospects whose PBR profile was viewed the most in 2022. Many of the players mentioned on this list produced at a high level at various PBR events over the course of the last 12 months.

Starting on December 7th, we began counting down from No. 25 all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Coming in at No. 12 in our countdown of the most viewed profiles of 2022 is Georgia commit 3B/RHP Jax Phillips out of East Cobb Academy.

Scouting Report

5/26/22
The top two-way prospect in the class slides in at No. 4, 3B/RHP Jax Phillips (East Cobb Academy; Georgia). Phillips brings the power in everything he does. Standing 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, he has the frame to do it as well. Phillips swings a heavy barrel while keeping it simple throughout. He uses his long levers and powerful lower half to get extended and drive the ball with big power. On the mound, he is just as impressive with a fastball that can reach 90 mph. His arm works short and clean on the back-side, allowing for him to repeat. The velocity continues to tick upwards with no signs of slowing down.

12/16/20
Our first look of Phillips came at the Underclass Games in June where he excelled, both in the workout and in-game against players two years older than him. A right-handed hitter, he has barely begun to fill out his 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame. As he adds strength, the power potential in his swing and arm might be at the tops of his class. Phillips has an easy gap-to-gap swing with quick hand speed. On the mound, he already can work up to 85 and projects to add much more as he matures.

11/07/20
Positional Profile: 3B/RHP Physically advanced for his class.
Body: 6-foot-3, 175-pounds. Projectable, strength throughout with lots of room to fill out.
Hit: RHH. Wide setup with an athletic bend in his knees, hands load back as he brings the barrel vertical, low sweeping leg kick timing trigger, good balance through finish.  Gap-to-gap type hitter, consistently drove balls with easy effort, swing works short and quick to the zone, mostly level through, quicks hands.
Power92 mph exit velocity from the tee. Present bat strength, big power potential.
ArmRH. INF - 86 mph. OF - 89 mph. Advanced arm strength, quick, whippy arm, comes out of a high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Plays through the ball with a fluid approach, fields to glove-side in the outfield, on the infield showed quick hands, funneling towards midsection, clean exchanges.
Run7.51 runner in the 60.

6/02/20
Georgia commit. 6-foot-3, 180-pound right-handed hitting third baseman and right-handed pitcher, lean, projectable frame, plenty of strength on the way as he fills out his young frame, advanced offensively, ran a 7.40 laser-timed 60. Offensively, balanced setup, hands load back smoothly, shallow leg kick timing trigger, great balance through contact. Gap-to-gap type hitter, gains extension through the zone with an uphill barrel path, drove balls regularly with easy effort, 88 exit velocity off a tee. During game play, facing older competition, drove a ball into the right center gap for a double. Defensively, long, loose arm action to a high ¾ slot, accurate, 86 across the diamond. Plays through the ball, fields out front, funnels into mid section, quick on transfers, fluid footwork. On the mound, arm works with some length on the back-side, accelerates quickly to get out front consistently, ¾ slot. Clean drop and drive delivery, works on-line, lands square, finishes square to home. Fastball sat 81-82, touched 83, flashed run. Curveball, 12/6 shape, depth, 68-69.

4/27/19
6-foot-1, 180-pound corner infielder and right-handed pitcher, physically advanced for age, strength throughout frame, projectable body. Stood out offensively, at the plate showed a smooth, athletic swing, somewhat uphill barrel path, looks to pull the ball with a power approach. Going to be a follow power bat down the road.
