We've all dismissed the movie "Rookie of the Year" as the most ridiculous kind of fantasy. There's no way a child could make it in MLB, right? Well, think twice about that opinion, because you haven't met Micah Phillips yet.
He's Brandon Phillips' 2-year-old son, and he's already taking live pitches and laying down bunts. Before Monday's Reds-Dodgers game, Micah took some cuts with his dad, Eugenio Suarez and Billy Hamilton. Do you want to watch this adorable toddler try to outrun Hamilton? Of course you do:
