Beau Philip will pitch for the Lake Country DockHounds in 2025, his second full season as a pitcher.  

Taken in the second round by the Atlanta Braves in the 2019 MLB Draft, Philip never turned in a season at the plate he was hoping for. The Braves started Philip at high-A Rome in 2021, and an unsuccessful season saw him there for the entirety of 2022 as well. At double-A Mississippi in 2023, Philip spent his final season as a position player.  

Atlanta opted to convert him to a pitcher ahead of 2024. He opened at low-A Augusta and found a fair amount of success as a new arm. Philip then went back to Rome, this time as an arm, but was released in less than a month.
