PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies named Peter Fatse their hitting coach on Tuesday and hired Joe Cronin as assistant hitting coach. Edwar Gonzalez will remain on the Phillies’ staff as an assistant hitting coach.
Fatse most recently worked as a hitting consultant for the Tampa Bay Rays, a role he began in June. Before that, he served as the hitting coach for the Boston Red Sox for parts of five seasons from 2022 to 2026.
Fatse replaces Kevin Long, who was fired at the end of the season. The Phillies reached the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season but were eliminated by the Atlanta Braves in the National League Wild Card Series.
“I am very excited to add Pete to our staff,” Phillies manager Don Mattingly said. “He has a track record of being a great communicator who prioritizes collaboration, and we truly feel that with his skillset and approach, he is a great fit for the organization.”
