The Joe Girardi Regime ushered in a new hitting coach (Joe Dillon) and pitching coach (Bryan Price) but the assistance positions for both hitting and pitching disciplines remained the same.  Pedro Guerrero is back for his third season while David Lundquist is back for his second season.  Guerrero is becoming a Phillies Room favorite as he good-naturedly interacted with our kids the last few seasons at the Phillies Phestival and during photo night.  Non-roster invitees took both coaches' numbers this spring, with Guerrero swapping #60 for #95 and Lundquist going from #57 to #94.

Juan Castro is the franchise's fourth dedicated, full-time infield coach, joining the ranks of Bobby Wine (1972), Tony Taylor (1977-1978) and Bobby Dickerson (2019).  Castro rejoins the Chachi set after a 10 year absence, and his biggest Phillies moment came when he started the final out of Roy Halladay's perfect game on May 29, 2010.  Castro started at third base for that game, giving the regular third baseman at the time, Placido Polanco, a day off.
