LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Sunshine Atlantic Coast Showcase
Cooper Phillips is a 2025 3B/RHP/MIF with a 6-0 175 lb. frame from Clayton, NC who attends Pro5 Baseball Academy. Medium high waisted athletic build with some present strength and more to come. 7.29 runner in the sixty. Primary third baseman on defense, stays light on his feet and has a quick first step to the ball, good body control and covers ground well, arm strength really plays across the diamond, charges the ball well and can throw from lower slots, solid overall defensively. Right handed hitter, hits from a straight stance with a hanging front leg trigger, can be late getting his foot down, short and abrupt inside swing path, not on plane for that long, has adjustments to make with the bat. Also pitched and has the arm talent to develop on the mound, has a fast paced upright delivery with lots of lower half energy and drive, over the top arm slot from a deep takeaway with backward lean and some fall off to the first base side. Fastball topped out at 88 mph, mostly straight. Slider was a promising pitch with good shape and some spin and flashed depth when he was on top of it. Might benefit from a lower arm slot for consistency and command. Interesting young athlete to follow. Good student. Named to the Sunshine Atlantic Coast Showcase Top Prospect List.
