The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to make any changes that improve their team, and that includes the coaching staff. A lot of the same coaching staff was announced to be returning in 2026, but a change they have made is the assistant hitting coach.
Edwar Gonzalez was named the new assistant hitting coach on Tuesday, per MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. The news comes after Dustin Lind was hired as the new lead hitting coach for the Baltimore Orioles. It was a quick turnaround as Lind departed just four days prior on Nov. 7.
