Prospect of the Day:  OF Brett Phillips, Biloxi

Phillips came to the Brewers’ organization with ample hype surrounding him; however, he’s lacked that true “arrival” moment that catches everyone’s attention. That changed on Wednesday evening, as he went 4-for-4 and was just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle. He even drew a walk and raised his batting average to .300. His performance even overshadowed Jorge Lopez’s brilliant outing on the mound, as the right-hander threw eight scoreless innings and won his 11th game of the 2015 campaign.

For more information and a deeper look at Phillips’ minor-league journey, I encourage you to read this article by our own Colin Anderle.
