The Phillies have a new hitting coach on hire, Kevin Long, who has been with many MLB teams in that role, and most recently with the Nationals for 4-years. Long also was with the Yankees from 2007-2014. Long reunites with Bryce Harper and he has a ton of other players he has coached.
One of the players mentioned in a possible move to Philadelphia is Kyle Schwarber is being mentioned in certain circles as a player that may be enticed to move to Philadelphia. Long had been coaching Schwarber in Washington till he moved over to the Boston Red Sox when the Nats traded him to the Boston Red Sox for RHP Aldo Ramirez.
