Scouting Report: Alex Phillips
Colorado Rockies | RP
Overall
Summary
Connor Phillips, Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher, has struggled significantly in recent appearances. He allowed 5 runs on 4 hits and a walk in 1 inning on May 7, 2026, following a mid-game entry after starter Rhett Lowder left with a shoulder injury. This continues a pattern of poor performance - Phillips walked all 4 batters he faced in an appearance the previous weekend. Through 20 innings pitched in 2026, he has issued 21 walks with a 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP. Despite recording his first career save on March 31, 2026, he is not considered a serious save candidate even with closer Emilio Pagan sidelined due to a hamstring injury. His control issues and inconsistent performance have raised concerns about his viability in high-leverage situations.
Strengths
- Recorded first career save on March 31, 2026
- Has 4 holds on the season
