caydenphillips_ found a home in Manhattan with kstatebsb. Four years nearly turned into five with a group of guys that took him in, and a coach who never let him down.

Now, after an eight-month stint as a graduate assistant and catchers coach following his Spring 2025 graduation, Phillips will soon begin his new professional baseball career as the complex catching coach for the nationals.

❝ It was a crazy ride getting to K-State, and now that I’m here, at this spot, the first thing that scares me the most, and the hardest thing to do, is leaving this place. ❞
