COACH CORBIN QUOTE: Highly competitive...that sums up Phillip. He is a `pure' winner and he will take the ball in any situation that you put him in...you want him on the mound. In what role he ends up pitching, I am not sure, but those innings will be important ones. He will be very impactful to our pitching staff in year one.
