He was a member of the National Honor Society.[2]
Though he was ranked as the sixth best prospect from Missouri prior to the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft, he was not selected due to his strong commitment to enroll at the University of Notre Dame, where he pitched for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish baseball team.[2] As a freshman, Phelps pitched sparsely as a reliever. As a sophomore, he pitched in the starting rotation, earning Big East All-Conference First Team, Academic All-District and Academic All-American honors.[2] He struggled in his junior season.[2] While in college, he also pitched for the Mat-Su Miners of the Alaska Baseball League and Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod League.[2]
Phelps was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 14th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft. Phelps was named to the 2010 Eastern League All-Star Game.[3] He currently plays for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.[1] Phelps was named the Yankees minor league pitcher of the year for 2010.[4] He was added to the Yankees 40 man roster after the 2011 season to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[5]
