01/13/2017 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Philip is a strong, athletic catcher who is a prospect on the diamond. He utilizes his quick feet well in working in line to his target through a clean transfer/exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Pop times show a range of 1.97-2.05 with life and on line carry through his target. He will control the running game at the next level with his feet/arm. Receiving/blocking skills show as outstanding tools that will play well at the next level. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying tremendous hitting/power potential through an athletic setup. He gets to a strong launch position and shows quick hands that generate bat speed to and through contact, creating extension. Barrel accuracy is a plus with strength in his swing as the baseball explodes off the bat when centered, displaying gap to gap pop. Philip has the makings of a special type player and will get looks from top collegiate coaches.
