Brandon Phillips has received many illustrious awards throughout his career. Phillips has won 3 Gold Glove Awards at the second base position. He has crafted his defensive occupation and performs at the highest level possible.

Phillips is almost a guaranteed highlight reel every night. Phillips appeared on Baseball Tonight’s commonly known Web Gems segment ten times this year. To honor his spectacular defensive accomplishments, I have put together his top 10 defensive plays of the year. Get your popcorn ready and enjoy.

10. Over the Shoulder Grab

In early June, the Reds were hosting the St. Louis Cardinals. With one out in the top of the 4th, Phillips dazzled the fans with an amazing catch. Off the bat, you could tell it was a softly hit flare that was in no mans land. No fear though, Phillips sprinted back and made the catch. He was so nonchalant about it too; just another day at the park for BP.
