Philip Whelan is a 2016 OF/RHP with a 5-11 185 lb. frame from Calgary, AB who attends Holy Trinity Academy. Solid build with good size throughout frame; still shows physical projection remaining on body. Hits from a slightly open, slightly crouched stance with a high back elbow. Spreads out in the box and loads with a toe tap trigger then comes through the zone with a line drive swing plane. Battles in the box, fouling off a lot of tough pitches. Makes consistent contact and shows solid power potential as well. Worked out in the outfield during positional drills, showcasing a solid arm that reached 78 MPH and was consistently accurate and on target. Fielded the ball cleanly and gathered to a crow hop with compact arm and body action. Shows a simple delivery on the mound with a quality FB/CH combo in his arsenal. Throws strikes with both pitches, FB works down, and changeup shows cutting action. Pounded the zone.Very good student.
