GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Coy Phillips of Santa Fe Baseball will remain a Saint, and has signed to continue his academic and athletic career with the Flagler College Saints in St. Augustine, Fla.

Flagler College is a member of the Division II Peach Belt Conference and Head Coach David Barnett will be entering his 35th season as Head Coach for the Saints in 2022.

Prior to the start of the 2021 season, Bennett ranked No. 12 in wins among active NCAA Division II coaches. Flagler finished the 2021 campaign with a 17-21 record (16-16 PBC). The Saints were co-champions of the Peach Belt Conference in 2019, which was the first time a Flagler baseball team won or shared a league title. 

Phillips, the Inglis, Fla. native and Seven Rivers Christian graduate, was a prominent contributor for Head Coach Johnny Wiggs, helping the Saints to a 33-13 record, Mid-Florida Conference Championship, and runner-up finish at the FCSAA State Tournament. 

The 6'0" left-handed outfielder batted .297 with six doubles and a home run on the season. He also came around for 23 runs and had 20 RBI. He stole five bases, assisted in making 10 double plays, and had a fielding percentage of .977 on 175 total chances, also spending time playing first base. 

Phillips' performance across 39 games this season earned him All-Mid-Florida Conference Second Team honors. He recorded a hit in the final 12 outings of the regular season, and he turned on his lone home run of the season in the 8-3 win over Seminole State on April 19.

As a true freshman in 2020, Phillips played in 23 games and batted .263 with 20 hits. He scored 19 runs and had 19 RBI before the season was cut short due to COVID-19.
