Ahead of their series with the Orioles, the Blue Jays signed an intriguing player to a Minor League deal.
Tyson Shushkewich of Blue Jays Nation wrote: “The #BlueJays have signed pitcher Beau Philip to a MiLB deal per the tracker. Was an infielder early in pro career but moved to the mound in 2024. Has spent the past 2 years in Indy Ball. 5 relief appearances, 3.60 ERA with 8 K’s this season.”
Was an infielder early in pro career but moved to the mound in 2024. Has spent the past 2 years in Indy Ball.
5 relief appearances, 3.60 ERA with 8 K’s this season.
Phillip was picked in the 2nd round of the 2019 MLB Draft (out of Oregon State) by the Atlanta Braves.
The Rome Emperors wrote (on August 2, 2024): “Ahead of tonight’s contest the Atlanta #Braves promoted RHP Adam Maier from Low-A Augusta to the High-A #Emperors. Additionally, Beau Philip has been released from the Rome roster.”
While getting called up to the MLB will be a long shot, Phillip is a player worth watching after his big change from infielder to pitcher.
