From walk-on to preseason all-conference: how Kyle Phillips got to his senior season at USF- Full article 

Like most sports in America, there is a steep drop-off in the number of players who make the transition from high school to college athlete. Baseball is no exception.

Senior Kyle Phillips thought he would become part of the 89 percent of players who stop playing baseball after high school. But with some luck, sacrifice and grit, Phillips worked his way onto USF’s roster and has earned preseason all-conference honors.

The process of getting where he is today wasn’t easy.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    "I wish you guys could be in the locker room and be on the practice field because it is so much different from what it has been in the past."
