Connor Phillips

23-Year-Old PitcherSP
Cincinnati Reds AAA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A second-round pick by the Mariners in 2020, Phillips was traded to the Reds in 2022 as part of the Eugenio Suarez deal. Phillips began last season at Double-A Chattanooga, striking out nearly 40 percent of the batters he faced across 14 starts. His strikeouts fell while his walks spiked upon his promotion to Triple-A Louisville, but regardless the organization deemed him worthy of a late-season audition with the big club. The results were poor during his brief time in Cincinnati (6.97 ERA, 1.50 WHIP over 20.2 innings), but he at least showed a respectable strikeout punch around all the walks and homers. While the right-hander has good velocity for a starter and his sweeper showed promise, he will likely need more time in the minors to refine his command and control. Phillips doesn't turn 23 years old until May. Read Past Outlooks

Phillips was assigned to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips has loud stuff, but his control and command have been major weaknesses throughout his career. He gave up 23 earned runs in 10.1 innings over his most three recent starts for Triple-A Louisville, and the assignment to the ACL will presumably allow him to work on his mechanics in a less competitive environment.

Could be bullpen option
PCincinnati Reds  AAA
September 1, 2023
Phillips could join the big-league bullpen amid Cincinnati's playoff push, writes Joe Trezza of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Phillips' key appeal is generating a 9.7 K/9. Otherwise, the 22-year-old has struggled in Triple-A since ascending there midseason, posting a 4.69 ERA through 11 appearances. He's more likely to make his big-league debut in 2024.
