POSITION PLAYER PITCHING!!! Brett Phillips Came In During A Blowout Throwing HEAT And Then Makes The Catch Of The Year On The Mound!

46 MPH. That is how fast Brett Phillips is throwing. It can drive on a residential street, that is how slow BP was tossing. No one has more fun on a baseball field than Phillips, the guy lives to pitch in blowouts. It's all he wants to do. So when you saw the Rays getting kicked around by the powerhouse Athletics, you knew what was going to happen. Not only did he come in the game and touched 46, he got through the inning on 5 pitches. Maybe the best inning pitched all season by anyone. 

He tries to trick you with the windup, but it usually doesn't work. It ends up being like coach pitch and kids just roll over to the infield and no one can make solid contact. Don't give the Rays any ideas either, they may actually make him an opener or something. Kevin Cash is drooling at the thought of a 46 MPH opener. He'll have some hilarious comments after this too. And yeah, maybe he did give up a grand slam, but he also made an insane catch off the mound. This is the effort you get with Phillips out there, can't knock his hustle down that much while pitching.
