Phillips

1.19.19
The Arkansas commit stands 6-foot-3, 225-pounds, with a strong durable frame and has the look of an impact corner bat at the collegiate level. The left-handed hitter took a polished round of BP, showing easy rhythm and a low effort hack with juice in the barrel. Launched several balls out of the yard to the pull side and drove the ball deep to the gaps. On the infield, he shows soft hands, the ability to make the one handed play, and throws from a ¾ slot with a clean arm swing.

Arkansas commit. Phillips has a long-limbed, strong frame at 6-foot-2, 205-pounds. The left-handed hitter generates significant bat speed and leverage. He starts from a tall, slightly open stance with good flex in his lower half. Smooth load back before he strides forward with a low-hanging leg lift, and his hands trigger down and back. Aggressive hack, loose hands, quick bat through the zone on an uphill path. Uses the whole field, high-loose finish with an exit velocity of 90 mph and more to come in the future. On the infield, Phillips plays through the ball with fundamental footwork and soft hands out front. Accurate arm across the infield with a top velocity of 78 mph.
