9/19/15 Young, 2019 grad with long levers and frame at 6-foot-3, 180-pounds. Offensively, starts wide in crouched position, hands are back and strides to toe with hesitation on his load with hands. Tries to take hands to ball, exit velocity was 76 mph. Defensively, made the plays in the infield, stayed in upright position while he was 65 mph across the diamond from a 3/4 arm slot. On the mound, Phillips worked over the rubber with some length in the back of his arm swing. Fastball was 73 mph from his 3/4 arm slot and showed some downhill plane at times. Changeup and breaking ball were in the low 60's, change flashed cutting action, maintaining arm speed is key for Phillips. 2019 grad with size advantage already.
