As an MLB prospect in the early stages of spring training, any media coverage is a sign that good things are coming your way.

Ideally, you'd want that media coverage to be about your baseball skills and not your extremely unique laugh, as Brewers prospect Brett Phillips has learned this week.

Phillips, a 21-year-old right fielder, is apparently an easy laugh, as several videos from the teams spring training in Phoenix have shown.


According to Phillips, his laugh is a subtle blend of a goose, a dying donkey and a pterodactyl.

Let's hope Phillips makes it through to the majors this year, for all our sakes.
