Major League Teams (as a coach):  Cincinnati Reds 2019-2020; Philadelphia Phillies 2021-2023

Mike Calitri, who played in parts of four seasons in the minor leagues with the Reds and Red Sox organizations, joined the Phillies coaching staff as their Quality Assurance Coach in 2021.  He's the first person to have that officially designated role with the club.  He was promoted to bench coach in June 2022 when Joe Girardi was fired and Rob Thomson took over as interim manager.

Hitting coach Kevin Long has reached the World Series with four different teams as their hitting coach - the Yankees in 2009, Mets in 2015, Nationals in 2019 and Phillies in 2022.  Somehow Long has completed avoided appearing in any Phillies team-issued photo card sets to date.  Caleb Cotham appeared in 35 big league games wit the Yankees in 2015 and the Reds in 2016, going 1-3 with a 7.15 ERA.  He's found more success as a pitching coach.

2021 Chachi #28

The Phillies have a record-setting 12 coaches listed on their official roster for 2021, and I'm breaking the up into groups of four among three different coaches cards.  Rob Thomson is the only hold-over here from the Gabe Kapler era with both Bobby Meacham and Joe Dillon joining the club last season.  Caleb Cotham takes over the pitching coach duties this season from Bryan Price who departed after the shortened 2020 season.

Cotham is the team's fifth pitching coach in as many years following Bob McClure (2014-2017), Rick Kranitz (2018), Chris Young (2019) and Price (2020).  Cotham pitched in 12 games for the Yankees in 2015, who were managed by Joe Girardi at the time.

Prospects Added to 40-Man Roster; Cotham Named New Pitching Coach

2019 Choice Lehigh Valley
IronPigs #8
2019 Grandstand Reading
Fightin Phils #33
2020 Topps Pro Debut #PD-106
 
2019 R-Phils Phillies
Top 25 Prospects #15
2019 Choice Medusas
de Lakewood #20
2019 R-Phils Phillies
Top 25 Prospects #17

For the first time since a group of Phillies became free agents following the World Series, there was some movement with the team's roster.  As part of the annual offseason ritual of preparing for the rule 5 draft, teams must add draft-eligible players to their 40-man roster if they're to be protected. The Phillies added six of their top prospects to the 40-man roster yesterday, as summarized below.

Normally I'd include a sentence or two here about each player's prior year minor league performance, but with no minor league baseball in 2020 there's not much to say.
  • Kyle Dohy (lhp) - Dohy was a spring training non-roster invitee in 2020, but then left off the 60-player pool over the summer.
  • Bailey Falter (lhp) - One of three lefties added, Falter pitched for Reading in 2019.
  • Damon Jones (lhp) - Jones was a non-roster invitee and a member of the 60-player pool.
  • Nick Maton (inf) - Like Jones, Maton was a non-roster invitee and a member of the 60-player pool.
  • Francisco Morales (rhp) - Ranked the team's 4th top prospect by MLB Pipeline, Morales projects as a starting pitcher and he reached Low-A Lakewood in 2019.
  • Simon Muzziotti (of) - Center fielder Muzziotti spent all of 2019 with Clearwater and he's apparently an above average defender.
Granted 2020 was a bizarre season, but three of the four prospects (Garrett Cleavinger, Mauricio Llovera and JoJo Romero) added to the 40-man roster this time last year saw action with the Phillies over the summer.

Memory Lane
2009 Additions - Quintin Berry, Yohan Flande and Jesus Sanchez
2010 Additions - Cesar Hernandez, Matt Rizzotti, Harold Garcia, Freddy Galvis and Justin De Fratus

2020 Additions - Kyle Dohy, Bailey Falter, Damon Jones, Nick Maton, Francisco Morales and Simon Muzziotti

2017 Topps #188
Earlier Friday afternoon, the Phillies named Caleb Cotham as their new pitching coach, the team's fifth  pitching coach in as many years.  Admittedly, I know nothing about Cotham other than he appeared in the 2016 and 2017 Topps sets.  He appeared in 35 games (all in relief) with the Yankees in 2015 and the Reds in 2016, going 1-3 with a 7.15 ERA over 34 innings pitched.  His manager with the Yankees in 2015 was current Phillies manager Joe Girardi and his manager with the Reds in 2016 was outgoing Phillies pitching coach Bryan Price.

Cotham had been the Reds assistant pitching coach the past two seasons.  The Phillies are still looking for a new bullpen coach to replace Jim Gott, as Gott's contract was not renewed following the 2020 season.
