Earlier today, the Milwaukee Brewers announced that they had placed infielder Travis Shaw on the paternity list and recalled outfielder Brett Maverick Phillips to take his place on the active roster. Phillips, 23, was originally a 6th-round pick by the Astros back in 2012 and came to Milwaukee in the summer of 2015 as a part of the Carlos Gomez/Mike Fiers trade. He has been ranked as one of Milwaukee’s top prospects since arriving in the minor league system, so what should we expect to see from the outfielder?
Offense
During his days back in the lower minors with Houston, Phillips was more of a contact hitter considered to have a solid hit tool but fringey power.
