PBR: How has Prep Baseball helped your recruiting journey thus far?

K.Phillips: I've gotten many looks after events and they have made it very easy to get looks because of the well put together videos that showcase my abilities as a player.

PBR: Do you have any advice to recruits in a similar position as yours?

K. Phillips: Don’t get caught up in the division level, any chance to play at the next level is a good one. And if there are still no offers yet, just be patient, they will come.
