Phillips now officially with Braves

Cole Phillips has been signed, sealed and delivered to the Atlanta Braves after they selected him with the 57th pick in the second round of this year’s Major League Baseball draft on July 17.

After signing with Atlanta last week, Phillips headed to Florida last weekend where he will train, work out and rehabilitate at the Braves’ spring training facility.

“That’s where I’ll start my Minor League career, he said. “I’ll be there until Thanksgiving when I’ll get a little break for the holidays. The fact that it happened and to a team I wanted to go to, I was thankful.
