One of the top Class of 2012 catchers is now off the board, as University City’s Kevin Phillips (right) has committed to East Tennessee State University.  A starter since his freshman year, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound backstop has put together an impressive varsity career.

In his junior campaign this past spring, the right-handed hitter paced the Lions’ offense with a .500 batting average, .611 OBP, 35 runs scored, eight doubles, seven home runs, and 26 RBI.
