Opening Day Age:  35

Major League Teams:  New York Yankees 2015; Cincinnati Reds 2016
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.

Phillies Name Kevin Long New Hitting Coach

2009 Topps Heritage #465
On Wednesday afternoon, the Phillies officially announced Kevin Long as their new hitting coach for the 2022 season, their sixth hitting coach since the team's playoff drought began in 2011.  Like Joe Dillon before him, Long is highly regarded in baseball and the hope is he can connect with the Phillies offense better than Dillon and John Mallee before him.

Long has previously served as a hitting coach for the Yankees (2007-2014), Mets (2015-2017) and Nationals (2018-2021).  This will be a Yankees mini-reunion as Phillies manager Joe Girardi, bench coach Rob Thomson and Long all worked together in the Bronx between 2008 and 2014.  Bryce Harper and Long were together in Washington in 2018.

Long was drafted by the Royals in 1989 and spent eight seasons in their minor league system, never reaching the majors.  He appeared on a bunch of minor league baseball cards between 1988 and 2005, both as a player and a minor league coach.  He shares a floating head coach's card in the 2009 Topps Heritage set with Thomson.

With Long's hiring, the Phillies are down to needing an assistant hitting coach and a new infield coach, rumored to be Bobby Dickerson, who was with the Phillies previously in 2019.  Here's a look at the list of Phillies hitting coaches since 1970, with Billy DeMars still the undisputed dean of the group.

  • Billy DeMars 1969-1981 - DeMars also served as first base coach (1969-1972) and third base coach (1972-1979).
  • Deron Johnson 1982-1984 - Johnson also served as first base coach during his coaching tenure.
  • Del Unser 1985-1988 - Unser also served as first base coach (1985-1987).
  • Denis Menke 1989-1996
  • Hal McRae 1997-2000
  • Richie Hebner 2001
  • Greg Gross 2002-2004; 2011-2012
  • Milt Thompson 2005-2011
  • Steve Henderson 2013-2016
  • Matt Stairs 2017
  • John Mallee 2018-2019
  • Charlie Manuel 2019
  • Joe Dillon 2020-2021
  • Kevin Long 2022
