5-foot-11, 190-pound solid frame. Recorded a 60 time of 7.42 at the event. Sets up in an open stance with a smooth controlled load. Had uphill simple swing plane and good extension on his finish. Found multiple barrels through his round. Pull side approach. Phillips showed his power in the box with a strong exit velocity of 90 mph. He recorded a position velocity of 73 mph during throw downs; had a clean exchange and smooth footwork. Some flexibility and wide setup.While catching, consistently had pop times of 2.22-2.39. Showed consistent accuracy to the bag with a high ¾ slot. Loud bat on this '23 catcher.
Physical (5’11 190 lbs.) 2023 catching prospect that has shown a very loud barrel each time we have seen him. Starts from an upright stance and the feet are set slightly open as he shows a nice slow load of the hands and does a nice job with the top hand, keeping the barrel through the zone a long time. Showed power to both gaps from a balanced, well synched swing. Defensively, throws to the 2B were on line and accurate and during game play he did a nice job of handling pitchers and moved very well behind the dish. Also showed very well on blocking balls in the dirt. This is a 2023 that already shows some strength.
One of the better players at this event, which is more impressive considering he is only a ‘23. Slightly open stance that displayed some juice to all fields during his BP round. The swing was very balanced and synced together. Consistent line drives. Pretty strong build (5’11’ 179 lbs.). Showed some juice with his exit velo (87 mph) off of a tee. Solid defender. Pop times ranged from 2.1-2.2 with a C velo of 71 mph. Interesting follow.
