Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi recently praised spring training guest instructors Larry Bowa and Charlie Manuel for the tremendous value they bring to the team throughout the season, especially in spring training as the team has extra focus on fundamentals.
Likewise, Girardi spoke highly of his hitting coach — Joe Dillon — who, like him, is preparing for his second season donning red pinstripes.
“I think Joe Dillon does a tremendous job in preparing our players in the cage for what they will see in the game,” Girardi said.
