After the 2013 MiLB season, Cody Asche was a consensus top 10 prospect in the Phillies farm system. By 2017, Asche’s major league career was over, following parts of five major league seasons, four of which were spent with the Phillies.
Now, Asche will return to the organization that once selected him the fourth round of the 2011 MLB Draft in a different capacity. Only 30, Asche will serve as hitting coach for the Low-A Clearwater Threshers at the Phillies spring training home field, Baycare Ballpark, according to Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
