Cincinnati Reds' prospect Connor Phillips was named Arizona Fall League Pitcher of the Week on Wednesday.

Phillips struck out seven in four scoreless innings and did not issue a walk.

"A lot of this for me is really results-based,” Phillips said. “I know a lot of guys will come out here to figure out new stuff, but for me, it's more like I'm back in a competitive atmosphere and I'm trying to win every single ballgame that I'm pitching in."
