The Pirates signed Phillips after he worked out for several
major league teams. He was a high school star in South Carolina and I've
seen references to him as a "mid-week starter" at Spartanburg Methodist,
although he pitched only ten innings there. I don't know why he went
undrafted or why he pitched so sparingly in his first year of JC ball.
Newspaper articles referred to him as increasing his fastball velocity from the
upper-80s to 92 by the time of the workouts, so maybe he attracted interest by
showing added velocity in summer tournaments. He'll probably open in the
GCL in 2010.
