Caleb Cotham is the favorite to become the next Phillies pitching coach
The Philadelphia Phillies could soon have a new pitching coach to replace the recently retired Bryan Price — Caleb Cotham, currently of the Cincinnati Reds.
The Reds hired Cotham in January 2019 as assistant pitching coach; the following October, he was promoted to assistant pitching coach and director of pitching; now, he could receive a promotion for the third straight offseason as Phillies pitching coach. According to NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury, the 33-year-old has “emerged as the clear frontrunner” for the open position.
