Phillips' throw was the second-hardest for an outfield assist ever recorded by Statcast™ (since 2015), trailing the Yankees' Aaron Hicks' 105.5-mph rocket last season.
His strong arm was no surprise. In Phillips' Major League debut against the Giants on June 5, he introduced himself to the Miller Park faithful with a perfect throw to second base to catch the Giants' Denard Span trying to stretch a double.
The Brewers have used Phillips sporadically since recalling him on Sept.
