■ Rock Bridge pitcher adapts since pitching in Little League World Series (Columbia Missourian, 4/29/2010)
Pop. Pop. Pop.
Even in middle school, Ryan Phillips could throw “some pretty good cheese,” Widbin said. The pitcher’s throwing session was enough to jar Widbin’s memory.
He quickly realized Phillips was that kid who pitched in the 2006 Little League World Series. Only then, Phillips was a 5-foot-6 12-year-old who could throw a fastball in the 70s coupled with a sharp breaking ball.
Now, he is a 16-year-old starting pitcher on the Bruins’ varsity baseball team with a 6-0 record, 0.66 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched. He is only 5-9, but he throws a fastball in the high 80s to accompany that breaking ball. He is the team’s ace, head coach Justin Towe said.
