I thought it would be appropriate for the three bullpen coaches to share the same card.  Greg Brodzinski is the only new coach here out of the three, having been a coach for the Williamsport Crosscutters for the past two seasons.

Jim Gott is the elder statesmen among Phillies coaches, and this is his third season as the team's bullpen coach.  He pitched in parts of 14 seasons in the majors between 1982 and 1995, finishing second in the National League in saves in 1988 with 34.

The Phillies Media Guide indicates this is Bob Stumpo's third season as a coach as well, and admittedly I didn't realize he was an official coach resulting in his omission from the last two year's of Chachi sets.  Technically, his first Phillies card is a somewhat rare team-issued photo card from 2018 that was handed out to young baseball players who participated in a clinic held at Citizens Bank Park and facilitated by some of the coaches, including Stumpo.
