Former Phillies infielder Cody Asche is heading back to the majors next season — this time as a member of a big-league coaching staff.
Asche is set to join the Baltimore Orioles dugout in 2023 as the team’s major-league offensive strategy coach, according to a report from Roch Kubatko of MASN on Wednesday. The 32-year-old spent the 2022 season as a minor-league hitting coordinator in the Orioles organization.
After an unexpected winning season in Baltimore, manager Brandon Hyde and the rest of his staff will return in 2023; Asche will serve as the only coaching addition.
