Here's a look at new uniform numbers, number swaps and numbers currently on hold.
New Players (Non-Prospect Division)
There's a bunch here, so rather than go into any kind of detailed analysis, I'll list the number, the player and the person to have worn that number for the Phillies in 2019:
- #7 Josh Harrison (inf) - Maikel Franco
- #12 Neil Walker (inf) - Juan Nicasio
- #13 Logan Forsythe (inf) - Sean Rodriguez
- #16 Mikie Mahtook (of) - Cesar Hernandez
- #18 Didi Gregorius (ss) - Drew Smyly
- #23 Matt Szczur (of) - Jay Bruce (see below)
- #28 Bud Norris (rhp) - Mike Morin
- #29 Drew Storen (rhp) - Nick Vincent
- #31 Nick Martini (of) - Corey Dickerson
- #39 Anthony Swarzak (rhp) - Coach Bobby Dickerson
- #44 Christian Bethancourt (c) - Jason Vargas
- #45 Zack Wheeler (rhp) - Coach Chris Young
- #48 Francisco Liriano (lhp) - Jerad Eickhoff

- #60 Reggie McClain (rhp) - Coach Pedro Guerrero (see below)
- #61 Cristopher Sanchez (lhp) - Edubray Ramos
- #89 Robert Stock (rhp) - Never worn before
New Manager/Coaches
It looks as if the coaches mostly decided to take or were assigned numbers in the 90s, given the shortage of available numbers. Along with new coaches Castro and Meacham, two other coaches swapped out to new numbers as listed below.

Hey, the Mets have a guy named Zack Whee-- oh, right.
It's funny... I remember as a kid that the Mets coaches all wore numbers in the 50's, presumably for the same reason that the 2020 Phillies coaches wear numbers in the 90's.
13 coaches is a joke. Then again, this team has a lot of learning to do.
